impotencia funcional
Spanish to English
Medical
Medical (general)
En un informe médico se menciona "impotencia funcional de pierna derecha".
Entiendo que se trata de la imposibilidad de realizar movimientos habituales con esa articulacion. Pero no doy con el equivalente en inglés.
Podria ser joint immobility?
Gracias por la ayuda!

functional deficit
Although neilmac has the right idea, I'm afraid I would disagree with the term he uses. Impotencia funcional refers to the lack of ability to move the limb due to any cause (such as a fracture, a nerve lesion or muscle disorder) rather than that the joints are immobile (which could be due, for example, to the patient resisting moving the joint - which would certainly not be an inability to move the limb - or to an arthrodesis, in which the joint cannot be moved but the loss of function may be relatively small).
In this context, I think I would use the term given above: "functional deficit of the right leg/lower limb". This may be total or partial.
