rectus abdominis
The hip muscles play a crucial role in walking by providing stability, support, and power to the movement of the legs and pelvis. They help to control the movement of the hip joint and facilitate the swinging motion of the legs during each step.
The rectus abdominis: flexes the trunk, compresses the abdomen and stabilizes the pelvis External oblique:unilaterally: contra lateral rotation and ipsilateral( same side) side bending Bilaterally: flexes the trunk, compresses abdomen, and stabilizes the pelvis Internal oblique: unilaterally, ipsilateral side bending and rotation Bilaterally: flexes trunk, compresses abdomen, and stabilizes the pelvis The transverse abdominis: unilaterally rotates the trunk ipsi laterally Bilaterally: compresses the abdomen

The edge of the pelvis refers to the bony prominence on the side of the pelvis known as the iliac crest. It serves as an attachment site for several muscles and ligaments and helps support the weight of the body when standing.

When walking, the major muscles targeted are the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, calves, and hip flexors. These muscles work together to move and stabilize the body during the walking motion.
Running and walking does use the same muscles in the body. Three of the main muscles used in the legs are hamstrings, quadriceps and gluteal muscles.
The gluteus muscles are used when walking. They support the upper body in an upright posture.
