able-bodiedness
Sound body condition
Able-bodiedness is the state of having a body free from physical disability or impairment—the capacity to perform typical physical tasks without accommodation.
The term appears most often in discussions contrasting able-bodied people with those who have disabilities: The building's design assumed able-bodiedness.
In disability studies, able-bodiedness is sometimes examined as an unmarked norm against which other bodies are measured.
