normal end feel type, full ROM is restricted by muscle bulk, where tissue meets tissue, painless, examples are knee and elbow flexion soft
abnormal end feel type; hard and unyielding in a joint that isn't expected; restriction occurs before normal end of ROM due to joint changes, fracture, osteophytes, or other changes in the joint bony end feel
abnormal end feel type, sudden and hard dramatic arrest of movement, has pain which is caused by movement, springy rebound feeling, due to reflexive (protective) muscle guarding to prevent further injury muscle spasm end feel
abnormal end feel type; no physical restriction to movement; significant pain; no actual end feel; can be due to acute bursitis, joint inflammation, fracture, of psychological disorder that prevents tolerance of full movement empty end feel
abnormal end feel type, increased muscle tone, shortening in the capsule, muscle or ligament, will occur in contracture development following prolonged spasticity and tone increase, not necessarily permanently firm but becomes more difficult to move firm end feel
abnormal end feel type, mushy soft feel, can indicate acute inflammation, due to tissue edema in a sprain or other cause soft end feel
