cuboid in adduction, anyone know what this means?

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know what this means: " the cuboid is in some adduction

in front of the calcaneaous. " I know where the bones are located;

but in regards to the position.......what would this mean? Can

anyone shed some light!? Thanks,

, all I know is that 'abduction' is turning outward (as

in 'foot abduction brace') and the opposite of that would

be 'adduction' or turning inward (as in metatarsus adductus).

Hope this helps,
