The pectineus muscle, when acting eccentrically, helps to control the movement of the thigh by slowing down or restraining its extension at the hip joint. This is because eccentric muscle actions involve the muscle lengthening under tension, typically acting to decelerate a body part or resist gravity. In this case, the pectineus helps to control the movement of the thigh as it moves back to the anatomical position from a flexed position at the hip.
