ANS: A WQ




This movement causes eccentric tension and isotonic contraction. Eccentri

c tension helps control the speed and direction of movement. For example,
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ



when using an overhead trapeze, the patient slowly lowers himself to the
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ



bed. The lowering is controlled when the antagonistic muscles lengthen. B
