What is 'elastic after effect'?

When an external force is applied, the body gets distorted from it's original shape. The body takes some time to regain into it's original shape. Therefore, the delay or the time that is taken for the body to acquire it's original shape after the deforming force is removed is called 'elastic after effect'.
