what type of muscle types are abdominal
Stomach Muscle (Abdominal) Strain. Pulled stomach muscle is also called as abdominal muscle strain. This occurs when there is overstretching in one of the abdominal muscles such as the rectus abdominis, internal and external oblique. Most abdominal strains affect the rectus abdominis muscle; the muscle that runs down from the ribs to the pelvis in the middle of the abdomen. Abdominal strain can immediately cause pain to the area of the injured muscle.
