Directions: Identify if the given core muscle below has a function of being a stabilizer or mobilizer
muscle.

Core Muscles Function

The trunk is brought forward by the rectus


abdominis. Additionally, this muscle
compresses the abdominal viscera and raises
intra-abdominal pressure when it cooperates
with other abdominal muscles, which plays a

crucial role in activities including forced
respiration, labor, feces, and micturition.

The rectus abdominis also maintains and


regulates pelvic tilt (antilordosis).
The muscles that control scapular mobility
include the latissimus dorsi. This muscle may
shift the shoulder joint by pulling in different

directions on the inferior angle of the scapula
(internal rotation, adduction and extension of
the arm).
Your pelvic floor muscles, together with other
significant torso (or core) muscle groups,
enable your body to withstand external

that safeguards your spine and internal organs.
These muscles also assist you in maintaining
bladder and bowel control (continence).
4. Transverse Abdominals Along with other core muscles, the main roles
of the transverse abdominis are to protect
internal organs by holding them in place, and

to support the torso by maintaining abdominal


wall tension which stabilizes the spine and
pelvis before any movement of the limbs can
occur.

STATIC CORE FUNCTIONALITY:


This is the ability of the transversus abdominis
and other core muscles in general to align
your skeleton to resist a force that doesn’t
change.

DYNAMIC CORE FUNCTIONALITY:


In contrast to static core functions, the
transverse abdominis activates several body
elements, including tendons, ligaments, and
muscles, when your body is moving to absorb
resistance and modify itself in accordance
with your plane of movements.

The multifidus muscle's primary function is to


stabilize the lumbar spine, but it also aids in

9. Rectus Femoris The hip flexors of the thigh are the rectus
femoris, sartorius, and iliopsoas. Because it is
already short and hence suffers from active
insufficiency, the rectus femoris is a weaker
hip flexor when the knee is extended; the
movement will recruit more iliacus, psoas
major, tensor fasciae latae, and the other hip

flexors than it will the rectus femoris.


It can flex the leg at the knee, and when the
knee is flexed, it can also rotate the leg
medially. It can weakly abduct and rotate the
thigh laterally at the hip.
10. Sartorius
Because the muscles on both sides of the body
have a constricting influence on the pubic
symphysis, this muscle is crucial for pelvic
stabilization, especially in women .
