Which movement has 0-30 degrees range with Firm end feel?

• A. Wrist radial deviation
• B. Elbow flexion
• C. Finger MCP extension
• D. Ulnar deviation

Answer: (D)

When we assess ROM and end feel, we’re looking for movements that have a small, defined range and a firm stop at the end due to ligament and capsule tension. Ulnar deviation of the wrist typically allows about 0 to 30 degrees of motion and ends with a firm end feel, reflecting the stretch of the wrist ligaments and joint capsule. Other options either have a larger ROM (elbow flexion and finger MCP extension) or a smaller ROM (radial deviation ~0-25 degrees), with end feels that are not the same firm stop described. So the movement that fits both the 0-30 degree range and a firm end feel is wrist ulnar deviation.
