What is the end feel for Elbow Extension?

Explanation:
End feel describes how the joint resists motion at the end of range. For elbow extension, reaching full extension brings the olecranon of the ulna into firm contact with the olecranon fossa of the humerus. That bone-on-bone contact produces a sharp, abrupt resistance with little to no give, which is the hallmark of a hard end feel. If there’s swelling or bulky soft tissue, you might feel it differently earlier in the range, but in a normal elbow the end feel at full extension is hard.
