A "restricted" player is a Team A player not meeting the definition above and can only block an opponent low if the block is to the opponent's front (define as between their 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock) and cannot block low back towards the original position of the ball at the snap.
This is not an exhaustive list but it's a start.
I recommend reading the entirety of 9-1-6 to get a complete understanding of the blocking below the waist rule.
