incoordination
Lack of synchronization
Incoordination is the lack of smooth, controlled movement—when muscles fail to work together properly.
The term appears most often in medical contexts describing neurological conditions or the effects of intoxication: The patient showed marked incoordination when attempting to walk.
Also spelled as two words: in-coordination.
