Presentation
In the present paper we describe the case of a left-brain damaged patient, who presented both symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
While these errors can confirm that apraxia is present, no correlation can be made between lesion site and error type. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Entire Body System
- Disability
Additionally, although the most disabling types of apraxia reflect damage to gesture and/or object memory systems, existing treatments have not fully taken advantage of principles of experience known to affect learning and neural plasticity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Movement Disorder
Buccofacial apraxia (BFA, or oral apraxia) is a nonspeech skilled movement disorder that involves orofacial structures in the absence of paresis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
disorders most commonly stroke, dementia and movement disorders. [doi.org]
Musculoskeletal
- Fracture
She was obliged to wear a cast for a left humerus fracture for two months, and she found she could not move her left hand quickly with intention after removal of the cast; consequently her left hand was almost non-functional. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Anger
49045 Angers cedex, France. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Anger and frustration. In adulthood, particular symptoms or signs may also include: [ 3 ] Problems with planning and organisation. Difficulty learning new skills at work and at home (such as DIY). Difficulty when learning to drive. [patient.info]
Neurologic
- Tremor
After treatment, although the bradykinesia, rigidity, and resting tremor of the patient significantly decreased, the dexterity of the patient's hands did not improve. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patients may reach inaccurately and may be unable to grasp with precision because tremor interferes with a smooth action. Tremor typically increases when the hand is approaching the target. [doi.org]

[…] can comprehend and discriminate gestures; innervatory patterns can’t gain access to motor area DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTIC ISSUES Disorders of basal ganglia and cerebellum may be associated w/ nonapraxic movement disorders such as postural change, tone, tremor [brainaacn.org]
Può emergere anche in assenza di deficit di output (per es., paresi, tremore, atassia, ipocinesia o ipercinesia), di deficit di orientamento spaziale, deficit di schema corporeo o inerzia frontale. Preview Unable to display preview. [link.springer.com]
- Perseveration
[…] to anterior corpus callosum leads to apraxia; only seen w/ left hand (no aphasia) Ideational Apraxia Failure to perform a sequential motor movement, though each individual component can be performed in isolation (e.g., completed in the wrong order or perseverate [brainaacn.org]
Patients with frontal damage tend to perseverate on or repeat elements of the figure or to transform elements into familiar elements, such as transforming the circle with 3 dots into a face. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Going on with an act or or keep repeating the same is called perseveration, which is a form of apraxia. Conversely, the impersistentia motorica, is when someone can not sustain a move. [braininjury-explanation.com]
- Motor Disturbances
Joubert syndrome is a multisystem disorder that is associated with a constellation of cyclic ocular motor disturbances. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Additionally, two of the children showed significant generalization to imitated phrases with the treatment items. Four of the children maintained their treatment gains up to 4 months post-treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Despite evidence that several types of limb apraxia significantly impact functional abilities, surprisingly few studies have focused on development of treatment paradigms. [doi.org]
To accomplish this, a number of treatment methods can be utilized. Kaufman Speech Praxis Treatment Approach The Kaufman Speech Praxis Treatment Approach is a popular choice among many physicians and SLPs across the United States and Canade. [birthinjuryguide.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis The prognosis for individuals with apraxia varies and depends partly on the underlying cause. [ninds.nih.gov]
Analysis of his articulatory and prosodic abnormalities in the context of intact communicative abilities as well as description of symptoms dynamics over time provides valuable information for clinical diagnosis of this specific disorder and prognosis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis The prognosis of acquired apraxia/dyspraxia will depend on the nature and severity of the underlying cause. [patient.info]
Etiology
Our results argue for shared neural correlates of limb apraxia in AD and bvFTD and validate the syndrome as an important neuropsychological feature across different etiologies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is hoped that this will further our understanding of the initial stages of pregnancy and the etiology of various reproductive disorders. [news-medical.net]
The etiology of OMA is usually not known. However, the condition is sometimes attributed to insults occurring either during the perinatal period or the first 6 months of life. [aapos.org]
Etiology Dysarthria Dysarthric errors result from a disruption of muscular control due to lesions of either the central or peripheral nervous systems. [csuchico.edu]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology [ 1 ] DCD is thought to affect 1 in 10 children of school age in the UK. It is more common in boys than in girls. Presentation Presentation is variable in terms of severity from person to person. [patient.info]
Epidemiology The epidemiology of AADS was most recently reported by Bickerton et al. (2012). [frontiersin.org]
Figure 4 illustrates the time course of recovery from paresis at the impairment and at the functional levels, as derived from epidemiological data after stroke. [doi.org]
There are no epidemiological data on the prevalence of CAS, although it occurs infrequently in comparison with other forms of developmental speech disorder such as articulation disorder and phonological disorder, which occur in around 3.5% of preschool [cochranelibrary.com]

[ edit ] The prevailing hypothesis for the pathophysiology of ideomotor apraxia is that the various brain lesions associated with the disorder somehow disrupt portions of the praxis system. [3] The praxis system is the brain regions that are involved [en.wikipedia.org]
