motorischem

Motorisch is a German adjective meaning related to movement or to the motor system. It is used to describe bodily movement, muscle activity, and processes governed by the nervous system. The form motorischem appears in phrases such as im motorischen System, with motorischer Kontrolle, or beim motorischen Lernen. The related noun forms include Motor (engine) and Motorik, the latter denoting the motor system or the capacity for movement and coordination.

In science and medicine, motorisch is common in terms like motorische Fähigkeiten (motor abilities), Grobmotorik (gross motor skills), Feinmotorik (fine motor skills), motorische Entwicklung (motor development), and motorische Kontrolle (motor control). The field of motor control studies how the nervous system plans, executes, and adjusts voluntary movements and how sensory feedback guides these actions.

In child development, motorische Entwicklung describes the progression from reflexive movement to intentional actions such as rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking. Assessments track milestones related to gross and fine motor skills.

Clinical relevance includes disorders that affect movement, such as motorische Störungen, apraxia, ataxia, and conditions like stroke or Parkinson’s disease that impair motor function. Therapeutic approaches—physical therapy, occupational therapy, and motor-relearning strategies—aim to improve motorisch function and coordination.
