bradykinesia
Abnormally slow motion
Bradykinesia is abnormal slowness of movement, a hallmark symptom of Parkinson's disease and related neurological conditions.
The term appears in medical contexts to describe difficulty initiating movement or a general reduction in spontaneous motion: The patient's bradykinesia made simple tasks like buttoning a shirt take several minutes.
