Arm adduction

Arm adduction represents movement of the arm towards from the midline of the body in the coronal plane. Most individuals can manage 40° of isolated adduction. It is the opposite of arm abduction and contributes to the combined movement of shoulder circumduction.

It is produced by:

• pectoralis major (sternal part)
• latissimus dorsi
• teres major
• teres minor
