Example Sentences
- "In essence this means having an awareness of what the normal range of movement and end-feel is for that joint."
- "There may be a range of end-feels within the 'elastic' group, but all are indicative of normal tissue tension, such as the 'leathery' end-feel of passive pronation and supination of the forearm, or the even tighter 'rubbery' end-feel of ankle plantarflexion and wrist flexion where the reistance to the movement is in part provided by the tendons spanning the joint."
- "The quality of the resistance from R1 to R2, the elastic zone, is then assessed as well as the end-feel to the movement."
