ADDUCTED Meaning and
Definition
-
Adducted is an adjective derived from the verb "adduct," which refers to the action of pulling or drawing a body part or limb towards the midline of the body. When an individual is described as being adducted, it implies that a specific body part has moved or been positioned closer to the centerline of their body.
In medical contexts, adduction is commonly used to describe movements or positions of the limbs or joints. For example, if a person's arm is adducted, it signifies that their arm has been brought closer to their torso, along the sagittal plane. Similarly, if a person's fingers are adducted, it means that the fingers have been pulled together towards the midline of the hand.
The term "adducted" can also be used metaphorically to describe a state of being physically constrained or forcibly taken by another individual or group. In such cases, being adducted implies a situation akin to abduction, where the individual has been forcefully moved away from their intended destination or situation.
Overall, whether used in a physiological or metaphorical sense, being adducted implies a movement or position closer to the midline of the body or being taken against one's will.
