In Hip Adduction, what is the end feel and ROM?

Explanation:
When testing hip adduction, the thigh moves toward the midline and the hip adductor muscles, along with the joint capsule and surrounding soft tissues, provide the resistance at the end of the range. That resistance feels firm rather than soft or hard, reflecting a muscular-tissue stretch rather than soft tissue compression or bone-on-bone contact. The normal range from a neutral position is about 0 to 30 degrees. So the end feel is firm and the ROM is 0 to 30 degrees.
