During knee extension assessment, what is the expected end feel and ROM?

Explanation:
When you extend the knee, the endpoint is reached as the joint structures tighten—the posterior capsule and ligaments create a firm resistance to further movement, so the end feel is firm rather than soft or hard. In this context, the extension movement is considered to have reached its terminal position, so there isn’t a meaningful range to report in that direction. That’s why the ROM is listed as not applicable.
