What is the end feel for Wrist Extension?

Explanation:
End feel when the wrist is extended is firm. As you move into extension, the dorsal structures of the wrist—the dorsal capsule and the dorsal radiocarpal ligaments—come under tension and resist further motion with a springy, firm stop. This is normal for wrist extension because the joint is restrained by soft tissue and capsule rather than by bone, which would produce a hard end feel, or by edema or tissue bulk, which would produce a soft end feel.
