摘要: Apraxia is a term used to denote wide spectrum of higher-order motor disorders that result from acquired brain disease affecting the performance skilled and/or learned movements with or without preservation ability perform same movement outside clinical setting in appropriate situation environment. The disturbance purposive cannot be termed apraxia, however, if patient suffers any elementary sensory deficit (i.e., paresis, dystonia, ataxia) could fully explain abnormal behavior it results language comprehension disorder dementia (1,2). Nevertheless, praxic errors are at present much better defined clinically and kinematically may distinguished other nonapractic behaviors (3, 4). Praxic disturbances affect specific parts body limb facial apraxia) involve both sides ideational [IA] ideomotor apraxias [IMA]), preferentially one side limb-kinetic apraxia [LKA]), alternatively, interlimb coordination, as case gait apraxia.
