Motor Impairment

A condition that affects a person ability to control physical movements, including fine motor skills (small precise movements like typing) and gross motor skills (larger movements like reaching). Motor impairments can result from conditions such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injuries, tremors, arthritis, or amputation. In digital accessibility, motor impairments affect the ability to use standard input devices, requiring alternative input methods such as switch access, voice control, eye tracking, or adapted keyboards and pointing devices.
