Explanation:
My first reaction, is "never translate coerente with coherent" unless its speech. A search on surgery and "coherent movements" turns up only 11 hits, so it can hardly be a medical term used in surgery. Similarly a search on "movimenti coerenti" and chirurgia turns up 1 hit. So it is definitely not a technical term. So it can be translated in the normal manner depending on context.
