An abductor device includes a pair of cuffs for interfacing to respective legs of a user. There is a mechanism for removably holding each cuff of the pair of cuffs to a respective leg of the user and a mechanism for maintaining a range of separation between each cuff of the pair of cuffs. This range of separation ranges from a minimum distance between each cuff of the pair of cuffs to a maximum distance between each cuff of the pair of cuffs.
