Three articles in one sentence

"Such a movement of a hand is restricted by a sudden loss of control."

I have made up this (meaningless) sentence for illustrative reasons. Should I omit the articles or should I leave them there? Why?

Thank you.Emotion: smile

It's rather inane to give constructive feedback on a meaningless sentence.
A noun can be modified by the definite, indefinite or null article. The choice is quite dependent on the context and intended meaning. Without meaning, the arguments are moot.
