A pаtient with chrоnic оbstructive pulmоnаry diseаse (COPD) is working on stair climbing during physical therapy. The therapist observes as the patient performs a coordinated sequence of actions: positioning at the bottom of the stairs, gripping the handrail, lifting the right foot to the first step, shifting weight forward, pushing off with the left leg, bringing the left foot up to meet the right, and repeating this pattern while coordinating breathing with each step. Each individual component (gripping, lifting, weight shifting, pushing off, etc.) represents a separate motor program, but together they form one cohesive, goal-directed activity. This entire sequence of purposeful movements made up of multiple motor programs represents what concept?
