I need some assistance with understanding これといった in the following sentence

Question

身体を起こし、手足がこれといった支障もなく動くのを確かめた。

This article says that これといった means the following.

"Since 「これといった」 is always used in conjunction with a negative expression containing 「ない」, the basic idea of a phrase/sentence containing 「これといった」 would automatically be something like "there is nothing one could point one's finger and say 'This is it!'

But in my sentence I can't find the ない, other than もなく, which is the continuative form of もない. Because its in the continuative form, I doubt that it counts as the required ない to make the above explanation for これといった applicable to my sentence.

And because there is no negative verb, as far as I can tell at least, I can't use the definition I found here on Jisho.org.

これといった

Answer 1

Your interpretation of もなく is wrong. なく, even in the 連用形 or any other form, is still ない, so it is perfectly acceptable to use it with これといった. Also the も acts as an emphasizer here.

身体を起こし、手足がこれといった支障もなく動くのを確かめた。 = I checked if my limbs will move without any special problem by standing up.
