motor coordination
Skilled bodily movement
Motor coordination is the ability to make body parts work together smoothly and accurately.
It involves timing, balance, and precise muscle control—catching a ball, typing, or walking without stumbling.
Fine motor coordination handles small movements like threading a needle; gross motor coordination governs larger actions like running or jumping.
Her motor coordination improved after physical therapy.
