It helps stabilize the spine and pelvis during standing, walking, and lifting. It also contributes to side-bending of the trunk and supports breathing mechanics through rib movement. In clinical care, it is commonly discussed as a potential source of low back pain and as a target in rehabilitation and certain injections."}
