0 the movement of a part of the body towards the middle of the body or towards another body part: --
Pressure must be sufficient to produce adduction of the anterior shoulder toward the fetal chest, and assist in rotating the shoulder to the physiologic oblique orientation in the pelvis.
Glottal adduction determines the mode of phonation, a phonatory dimension with the extremes of voiced whisper and pressed phonation corresponding to minimum and maximum adduction, respectively.
Several studies related to the human wrist have focused on joint range of motion in the well-known "clinical angles" flexion/ extension, adduction/abduction and internal/external rotation.
Four 2-position 2-way, solenoid, spring returned, normally closed valves connected in bridge, are used for every joint to allow abduction and adduction of the fingers.
When axial rotation of the proximal segment occurred as the distal segment was retracting, it created an adduction/abduction error in the frontal plane measurements.
Flexion, adduction and internal rotation were assigned negative values.
An anonymous reviewer has suggested that the plosive form would involve complete adduction of the vocal folds, followed by abduction upon release.
It determines the amplitude of the translottal air pulses, such that a high degree of glottal adduction results in short air pulses of low amplitude.
