An argument for the incorporation of lengthening contractions during rehabilitation after joint injury. Lengthening contractions (i.e., eccentric contractions) are capable of uniquely triggering the nervous system and signaling pathways to promote tissue health/growth.

Here we provide a novel framework for eccentric exercise as a safe, effective mode of exercise prescription for muscle recovery.
