motoric
Concerning physical motion
Motoric is a technical adjective used mainly in psychology and neuroscience to describe things relating to muscular movement or motor function.
It characterizes activities, skills, or processes involving physical coordination and control: motoric development in infants, motoric learning.
The word overlaps significantly with motor as an adjective but appears more frequently in academic and clinical contexts, particularly when discussing the neural or cognitive aspects of movement.
