Abstract
We describe the following 3 important points in muscle tone evaluation. (1) It is important to examine the tension of the skin and other soft tissues as well. (2) The results of research into the rectus abdominis indicate that muscle tone in the central belly may not reflect the overall tone of that muscle. (3) Detailed evaluation of the function of all abdominal and back muscles should be performed.
