abduction

It should stand for "abduction". Note that the word "flessione" has nothing to do with this acronym here; it refers to the previous parts of the sentence. So not "flessione ABD", but simply "ABD".

"Abduction - the action of certain muscles in pulling a leg, arm, etc away from the median axis of the body".
