Your core muscles are actually composed of several major muscle groups including: The deepest of the abdominal muscles, this core muscle lies under the obliques (muscles of your waist). It acts like a weight belt, wrapping around your spine for protection and stability. Multifidus Muscle. The Multifidus Muscle is a thin, yet stiff, core muscle deep in the spine. It stabilizes each joint, makes each vertebra work more effectively, and reduces the degeneration of the joint structures. These core muscles are on the side and front of the abdomen, around your waist, and lays on top of the internal obliques. Internal Obliques. These core muscles lie under the external obliques, running in the opposite direction. The Rectus Abdominis is a long muscle that extends along the front of the abdomen.
To the rehabilitation world the core is the lumbar-pelvic (trunk) and hip complex. The Core is composed of as many as 35 different muscle groups connecting into the pelvis from the spine and hip area.In order to simplify the Core muscles I have divided them into four regions; back extensors, abdominals, lateral trunk muscles, and the hip muscles. have put together an evaluation of specific tests to determine muscle strength of the core muscles. One of the tests I use is a simple single leg stance position. It is amazing how many athletes have difficulty standing on one leg for 6 seconds.
