Define voluntary movement

Voluntary movements are consciously coordinated thoughts that are generated into action: Reflexive – can be carried out automatically without conscious control, and even with descending command signals disconnected. Rhythmic – can be performed without conscious voluntary control of all aspects of the movement, but subject to modification by feedback or voluntary commands, e.g., walking, breathing. Voluntary – Voluntary movements are goal-directed and improve with practice as a result of feedback and feedforward mechanisms.
