Answer:

The term is known as apraxia

Step-by-step explanation:

Apraxia is a neurological condition in which the patient has inability to perform movements that are usually performed on a daily basis, such as wink, moving the finger to type or any other action.

This condition happens due to a brain affection, but there is no impairment in the limbs or muscles that limit the capacity to carry out the movements ,on the contrary, they have the ideal faculty to perform them it is just that the neurological condition does not let the action to be carried out in the correct way or not at all.
