Axial muscle

What is "axial muscle"?

Axial muscle refers to a muscle that is part of the central axis of the body. These muscles are primarily located in the head, neck, and trunk regions and play a crucial role in maintaining posture, supporting the spine, and controlling movements of the core. Axial muscles include muscles such as the erector spinae, sternocleidomastoid, and abdominal muscles, which contribute to stability, flexibility, and coordination of the body's axial skeleton.
