Subject: End point as in Vera Pyle Medical Terminology
it says - "the point in an an analysis at which the chemical reaction is complete, or at which the reading or intrepretation of test results is feasible".
also Google has it as: Lachman's test of the right knee. The examiner used the right hand to place anterior force on the lower leg while simultaneously using the left hand to place posterior force on the distal thigh. A good end point should be felt. Hands are reversed to test the left knee.
