Motor response
Motor response refers to the body's physical reaction to a stimulus, such as a command from the brain or spinal cord. It involves the activation of muscles to produce movement, like pulling your hand away from a hot surface or walking. In medical assessments, motor responses help determine how well the nervous system is functioning, especially in response to injuries or neurological conditions. Essentially, it is the way your body acts or moves in response to signals from your brain or spinal cord.
