Standing Abductor

The Panatta Standing Abductor is a selectorized machine used in an upright position to train the hip abductor muscles. Working while standing, one leg is pushed outward to the side against padded support, directing the load onto the gluteus medius and minimus and the outer hip muscles. The standing posture also engages the core stabilizers to maintain balance. Its adjustable resistance and guided range of motion make this isolating exercise safe and repeatable. Strengthening the abductors improves pelvic and knee control, stabilizes walking and running, and helps prevent the pelvis from dropping during single-leg stance. The machine supports balance, posture, and functional lower-body strength.
