eye-hand coordination
Catch-and-throw skill
Eye-hand coordination is the ability to synchronize visual perception with hand movements—tracking what you see and directing your hands accordingly.
It underlies countless activities: catching a ball, threading a needle, typing, playing video games.
Also called hand-eye coordination.
Her eye-hand coordination improved after months of physical therapy.
