physical impairment
Motor and physical disability affecting vehicle operation: limb loss or paresis, reduced strength or range of motion, spinal-cord injury, arthritis, and the use of adaptive vehicle controls and hand controls to compensate. The impairment is bodily/musculoskeletal-neuromuscular with cognition intact, distinct from cognitive_impairment (mental deficits), medical_conditions (disease processes like diabetes or sleep apnea), and visual_occlusion (vision-blocking method).
