Pure eccentric exercise (symmetric) in which both the flexor muscles, and the
extensors work in eccentric mode, respectively, in flexion and extension
movements.

Exercise only extensor muscles (asymmetric) in which the patient works with the
extensor muscles during the extension movement (concentric) and continues to
work with the extensor muscles during the flexion (eccentric)
•
Exercise only flexor muscles (asymmetric) in which the patient works with the flexor
muscles during the extension movement (eccentric) and continues to work with the
flexor muscles during the flexion (concentric)
