Allokinesia
Definition
A motor disorder of neurological origin consisting of the involuntary or reflex execution of a movement instead of the intended one, or the execution of a command by the symmetrical limb opposite to the one requested. This coordination dysfunction often occurs in hemineglect syndromes or following parietal lobe lesions, altering spatial perception and voluntary motor control.
