End-Feel[edit | edit source]
The end of each motion at each joint is limited from further movement by particular anatomical structures. The type of structure that limits a joint has a characteristic feel, which may be detected by the therapist performing the passive ROM. This feeling, which is experienced by the therapist as resistance, or a barrier to further motion, is called the end-feel
Purpose[edit | edit source]
A proper evaluation of end feel can help the examiner
- To assess the type of pathology present
- To identify the limiting structures and choose focused and effective treatment
- Determine a prognosis for the condition
- And learn the severity or stage of the problem
