The pelvic girdle musculature ('''sublumbar muscle''') is made up of a number of distinct muscle groups. These arise from the lumbar vertebrae and insert on the pelvis or femur. These muscles function in dorsiflexion and ventriflexion of the spine.  They also provide stabilisation to the vertebral column and pelvis.
