Motion Impairment
Also known as: Motor Impairment, Physical Impairment, Mobility Impairment
A condition that limits a person's ability to control voluntary physical movement, affecting fine or gross motor skills, strength, coordination, or range of motion. Motion impairments may result from conditions such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injury, stroke, or repetitive strain injury. In digital accessibility, motion impairments affect a person's ability to use standard input devices like keyboards and mice, necessitating alternative input methods such as switch access, eye tracking, voice control, or gesture-based interfaces.
