Abdominal muscles are trunk muscles that help to rotate and flex the spine. The abdominal muscles are composed of:
- Rectus abdominus: originates at the pelvis and inserts into the sternum as well as ribs 5-7. This muscle flexes the spine or assists in posteriorly (behind or in back of) tilting the pelvis.
- External obliques: one of the abdominal muscles responsible for rotation and flexion (position that is flexed relative to neutral or extension) of the spine. Developing external oblique strength is important for spinal stabilization against movement faults.
- Internal obliques: one of the abdominal muscles responsible for rotation and flexion of the spine. Developing internal oblique strength is important for spinal stabilization against movement faults.
- Transversus abdominus: an important spinal-stabilizing muscle
