Sensorimotor

Also known as: Sensorimotor System, Sensorimotor Control

Relating to the integration of sensory input (proprioception, vision, touch) with motor output (muscle activation and coordinated movement). Sensorimotor processes let people plan, execute, and correct movements in real time, usually without conscious effort. Neurological and muscular conditions such as cerebral palsy, ALS, stroke, and spinal cord injury can degrade sensorimotor feedback, producing movements that are slower, asymmetric, lower in amplitude, or accompanied by unintended co-activations. Designing accessible gesture, speech, and motion interfaces requires accommodating this sensorimotor diversity rather than assuming normative control.
