French term or phrase: en fin de course
From a motorcycle/car accident report.

Under the heading:

EXAMEN CLIINIQUE

Pouce droit - main droite (sujet droitier):

L'abduction est freinée en fin de course, sensible (-10*).

It seems a very common expression from my research, but I cannot find the meaning in English.

NB. * = degrees symbol

Thanks in advance!
