What is the end feel for Elbow Flexion?

Explanation:
End feel describes the amount and quality of resistance felt at the end of a passive range. For elbow flexion, the limit is reached as the soft tissues of the forearm and upper arm come into contact, so you feel the soft tissue giving way before a true bone contact occurs. That soft, tissue-based resistance is the normal end feel. In contrast, elbow extension is typically hard due to the olecranon and olecranon fossa coming together. If the end feel changes abnormally, it can indicate swelling, tightness, or joint pathology.
