General

Dexterity is a degree of ease, speed, and accuracy in motor actions. It manifests itself in fine motor movements of the hands, feet or the head. Skill is therefore the ability to perform target motor actions with distal parts of the body , with the stability of the trunk and the proximal joints being guaranteed. Skill can be improved through practice , play , routine and gradually increasing the difficulty level.

A lack of skill can lead to mistakes , for example to incorrect production at work or to household accidents in leisure time .
