neuromotor
Concerning nerve-muscle control
Neuromotor describes the connection between the nervous system and muscular movement—the neural pathways that control how muscles contract and coordinate.
The term appears in medical and developmental contexts: neuromotor development in infants, neuromotor disorders affecting gait.
Fine and gross motor skills both depend on neuromotor function.
