A)restrains/slows opposition of the little finger (finger number five)at the carpometacarpal joint
B)restrains/slows flexion of the hand at the wrist joint

The opponens digiti minimi primarily functions to facilitate the opposition of the little finger towards the thumb, which involves a combination of movements including flexion and medial rotation at the carpometacarpal joint of the little finger. Therefore, in an eccentric action, where the muscle lengthens while producing force, it would act to control or slow down the reposition (moving back to the anatomical position) of the little finger at the carpometacarpal joint.
