Abduction (noun (clinical kinesiology / neurological semiology))

Translator Priority: ⭐

Bilingual Equivalents: Abduction, Outward anatomical movement

DEX Definition: The movement by which a limb, a limb segment, or the eyeball is moved away from the median axis of the body or a reference line. In neurological semiology, testing abduction (such as ocular abduction, performed by cranial nerve VI) is essential for locating brainstem lesions. In clinical psychiatry, resistance to passive abduction of the limbs is analyzed as a marker for waxy flexibility or catalepsy in catatonic syndromes.
