Standing hip abduction is a beginner-level physiotherapy movement targeting the glutes, written in Posecode, a small open-source language that LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can write to describe human movement as text. Every joint angle below is hard-clamped to a safe range of motion.

How to do it

1. Lift1.6s · ease-in-out Lift the right leg out to the side, keep the torso tall
2. Lower1.6s · ease-in-out Lower the leg back to the midline
