Q

Impression given to clinician ==> further force application will tear something

A

Capsular

17
Q

Examples of capsular end-feels…

A 
Wrist flexion (soft)
Elbow flexion in SUP (medium)
Knee extension (hard)
18
Q

Inappropriate stretch ability for specific joint, and if too hard may indicate hypomobility due to arthrosis, and if too soft, hypermobility

A

Abnormal capsular end-feel
