Hip abduction refers to the movement of the hip away from the midline of the body. Anatomic position is a position with the body standing upright, arms at the sides, and palms facing forward. In this position, the reference planes are sagittal, transverse, and frontal. Hip abduction occurs in the frontal plane, which divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) portions.
