What is the end feel for Wrist Radial Deviation (Abduction)?

Explanation:
End feel describes the type of resistance felt at the end of a joint’s passive range. For the wrist moving into radial deviation, the limiting factor is a bony stop: as you reach the end of ROM, the carpal bones contact the distal radius (and adjacent articular surfaces) in a way that creates a clear bone-on-bone block. This results in a hard end feel, a sharp, defiant stop from the joint surfaces themselves. Soft end feel would imply soft tissue compression, and a firm end feel would come from capsuloligamentous tension without bone contact, which isn’t the primary limiter here.
