  5. What is the purpose of joint mobilization?
    To restore normal, painless joint function.
  6. Where does the treatment plane lie?

    more elastic and less soft
  11. Shortened connective tissue produces what type of end-feel?
    firmer, less elastic
  12. Intra-articular swelling produces what type of end-feel?
    soft resistance just before or instead of the movement's usual end-feel (boggy end-feel)
  13. A displaced meniscus produces what type of end-feel?
    springy
  14. What is meant by an empty end-feel?
