Spanish term or phrase: Motricidad provocada
I'm revising a document about swallowing disorders in children with cerebral palsy from Spanish (Ecuador) to English (US) and I'm not sure how to translate the above term. The sentence is:

"Motricidad provocada: al contacto de la mucosa del labio Superior (estimulación propioceptiva), la boca se abre, existen respuestas automáticas de los puntos cardinales, es decir, la boca se orienta de un lado a otro según donde toque el labio el examinador al niño."

I have found this clarification "Se llama ... motricidad provocada a las repuestas producidas mediante estimulaciones propioceptivas es decir que se generan mediante maniobras del examinador a lo largo de la evaluación" (p. 64 at: http://dspace.unach.edu.ec/bitstream/51000/972/1/UNACH-EC-TE...

The translator has used "self-initiated movement" and also "induced movement". I have found references to "evoked responses" but that was more in relation to electrophysiologic recording methods such as electroencephalography and electromyography.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
