leg movement
Walking or kicking
Leg movement is the motion of one or both legs, whether voluntary or involuntary.
The term appears in medical contexts describing symptoms or reflexes, in dance and athletics describing technique, and in sleep science: restless leg movement during sleep.
It's a clinical or technical compound rather than an idiomatic phrase.
