Performance of Left Brain-Damaged Patients on Imitation of Single Movements and Motor Sequences. Frontal and Parietal-Injured Patients Compared

摘要: Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the relation apraxia sequential features motor task required and intra-hemispheric locus lesion. A single movement a multiple imitation test were given 60 control patients left brain-damaged patients, among which with frontal parietal lesion identified, based on CT scan evidence. Both groups performed tasks using limb. On either scored poorer than controls significantly more impaired not only controls, but also patients. Seventy five per cent them lower poorest patient. In comparison, severity frequency deficit following damage much lower. no case there significant difference between discriminating power sequence test. These findings suggest that lobe has leading role in planning it exerts over cortex right hemisphere does necessarily involve pathways running through premotor area.
