Apraxia is classically defined as difficulty performing learned, skilled gestures. In this review, we describe the range of motor impairments classified as apraxia, focusing on ideomotor limb apraxia. We present several prominent models of praxis to explain the variety of difficulties seen in patients with apraxia.

Praxic functions are frequently altered following brain lesion, giving rise to apraxia - a complex pattern of impairments that is difficult to assess or interpret. In this chapter, we review the current taxonomies of apraxia and related cognitive and neuropsychological models.

The Paper-Toss Test: enhancing bedside recognition of corticobasal syndrome [PDF]
IntroductionThe diagnosis of corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is challenging due to its clinical overlap with other neurodegenerative disorders. Ideomotor apraxia is a core feature of CBS and often presents asymmetrically, but is often under-recognized in the

Differences in gait apraxia due to reduced regional cerebral blood flow in the supplementary motor area in corticobasal syndrome: a report of two cases [PDF]
Background Gait apraxia, characterized by difficulties initiating and coordinating walking despite preserved conceptual movement abilities, is a distinct entity from lower limb apraxia.

Supranuclear oculomotor palsy in cerebral venous sinus thrombosis: a case report [PDF]
Background For certain ocular movement abnormalities, the exact neuroanatomical localization of the causative lesion is still not defined. Oculomotor apraxia, apraxia of eye opening and closing, and motor impersistence are rarely reported in acute stroke,

As early as the beginning of the nineteenth century, a variety of nonmotor cognitive and affective impairments associated with cerebellar pathology were occasionally documented. A causal link between cerebellar disease and nonmotor cognitive and affective disorders has, however, been dismissed for almost two centuries.

Balance impairment does not necessarily coexist with gait apraxia in mild and moderate Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Currently, there are no studies reporting how much balance impairment coexists with gait apraxia in mild and moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Objectives To assess correlations among gait apraxia, balance impairment and cognitive performance in mild ...
