nonmovementrelated

Nonmovementrelated is a term used to describe phenomena, attributes, or processes that are not directly connected to movement. In scholarly writing and data labeling, it helps distinguish motor-related aspects from non-motor aspects across disciplines such as medicine, neuroscience, psychology, and technology.

In medicine and neuroscience, nonmovement-related symptoms or signs refer to those not directly caused by motor dysfunction. Examples include sensory disturbances (such as numbness or tingling), cognitive changes, fatigue, mood alterations, and autonomic dysfunction. In psychology, nonmovement-related effects encompass attention, memory, perception, and emotional states that occur independently of physical activity. In robotics and artificial intelligence, nonmovement-related data covers perception, planning, decision making, and energy management, which are not tied to locomotion or motor execution.

Usage notes: the term is variably hyphenated or concatenated depending on style guides and practical needs. Common forms include nonmovement-related or non-movement-related; in some databases or code identifiers, the single-word form nonmovementrelated may appear. For clarity, authors should choose a form and use it consistently within a document, especially when contrasting with movement-related concepts.
