    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_motor_skill

    Writing is a fine motor skill as it requires subtle motions of the hand and fingers. Motor skills are movements and actions of the bone structures. [1] Typically, they are categorised into two groups: gross motor skills and fine motor skills. Gross motor skills are involved in movement and coordination of the arms, legs, and other large body parts.

    The phrase "if you don't use it, you lose it" is a perfect way to describe these skills, they need to be continuously used. Discrete tasks such as switch gears in an automobile, grasping an object, or striking a match, usually require more fine motor skill than gross motor skills. [3] Both gross and fine motor skills can become weakened or damaged.

  9. Motor unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_unit

    Groups of motor units often work together as a motor pool to coordinate the contractions of a single muscle. The concept was proposed by Charles Scott Sherrington. [2] Usually muscle fibers in a motor unit are of the same fiber type. [3] When a motor unit is activated, all of its fibers contract.
