hand coordination
Fingers working together
Hand coordination is the ability to control hand movements precisely and in sync with visual input or with the other hand.
It encompasses fine motor skills like writing, typing, or threading a needle, as well as bilateral tasks requiring both hands to work together: Playing piano requires excellent hand coordination.
The term appears in discussions of child development, rehabilitation, and athletic training.
