Dexterity

The ability to perform precise, coordinated movements with the hands and fingers, including gripping, pinching, typing, and manipulating small objects. Dexterity is distinct from gross motor function (large body movements) and varies widely among individuals with motor impairments — some may have strong arm movement but limited finger control, while others experience the reverse. Digital accessibility must account for varying levels of dexterity by providing alternatives to interactions that require precise pointing, small touch targets, multi-finger gestures, or sustained grip on controllers.
