función motora


Explanation:
In Spanish, while terms like "abilidad motora" and other literal translations of "motor skills" are quite frequent and even correct in certain contexts, such as the development of motor skills in infants, I would say that they are incorrect in this context. A Spanish physician would say something like "Tras el accidente trágico Verónica quedó inmóvil. Tanto su discapacidad como su pérdida de función motora fueron completas. Estaba como si hubiera muerto".
My point is that it is always advisable to consult source documents on the subject matter, rather than translations, to get a feel for how people actually express themselves in a given context.

capacidad motora / motriz


Explanation:
no creo que se trate de la habilidad en el sentido de destreza, algo adquirido, sino la capacidad de andar
