Callosal apraxia

Neurology, 1987
A 39-year-old right-handed woman suffered a ruptured pericallosal aneurysm. Serial MRI studies showed damage to the genu and most of the body of the corpus callosum but not the splenium. Both supplementary motor areas (SMA) appeared intact. We studied the patient's praxis performance at intervals over a 4-month period with a standardized battery.

Apraxia

WIREs Cognitive Science, 2001
The term apraxia refers to ‘higher level’ disorders of motor control. Apraxia differs from other motor symptoms of unilateral brain damage by the bilaterality of symptoms following unilateral lesions. Lesions causing apraxia are located predominantly in the left hemisphere and apraxia is frequently, although not invariably, associated with aphasia ...

The apraxia was characterized by clumsiness of the left hand in the manipulation of objects with preservation of power and finger motility in visual imitation. From the analysis of the patient's behavior and associated sensory findings, a defect of a higher-order sensory system was speculated as a basis of ...

Limb‐kinetic apraxia

Movement Disorders, 1998
AbstractFive cases of limb‐kinetic apraxia following primary degenerative cerebral pathology are reported. Apraxia appeared as the main symptom and was not concomitant to aphasia or to widespread cognitive impairments. Apraxia was not a consequence of elementary motor or sensory deficits, lack of coordination, or the result of the presence of rigid ...

[Apraxias].

Der Nervenarzt, 2009
Apraxias are deficits in higher motor behaviour that are not primarily caused by elementary deficits of the sensorimotor system, communication problems, or dementia. These patients present with deficits such as imitating meaningful or meaningless gestures and in dexterity or purposeful use of objects.
