  20. True or false: goniometers are combination move instruments because it's triaxial.
    FALSE! Goniometers are pure motion instruments because they are uniaxial.
  21. What is the term used to describe the end of passive ROM?
    • End Feel.
    • Hard: bone contacting bone (elbow extension).
    • Firm: muscle, capsule, or ligamentous stretch (finger extension, hip flexion with the knee straight).
    • Soft: soft tissue approximation (flexion of the knee).
  22. What does abnormal soft end feel indicate?
    • Soft tissue edema (it feels boggy).
    • End occurs sooner or later in the ROM than is normal, or in a joint where you would expect firm or hard end feel.

    • Abnormal firm: shortening of capsule, ligament or muscle.
    • Abnormal hard: loose bodies in a joint, fracture.
