Apraxia happens when certain regions of the cerebral hemispheres in the brain This dysfunction may occur if a lesion in the brain forms across the neural pathways that store memories of learned movements. A person with apraxia may be unable to access this information. Apraxia can happen due to a head injury or disease that affects the brain, such as: • a • head trauma • • tumors • corticobasal ganglionic degeneration Apraxia is Apraxia can also be a genetic disorder.

For example, an inability to lick one's lips, wink, or whistle when requested to do so. This suggests an inability to carry out volitional movements of the tongue, cheeks, lips, pharynx, or larynx on command. • • Gait apraxia is the loss of ability to have normal function of the lower limbs such as walking. This is not due to loss of motor or sensory functions. • Ideational/conceptual apraxia is having an inability to conceptualize a task and impaired ability to complete multistep actions. This form of apraxia consists of an inability to select and ca...

Dyspraxia, also known as developmental coordination disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition that begins in childhood that makes it difficult to perform motor skills. It also causes issues with coordination. While there’s no cure, occupational therapy can greatly help children with dyspraxia learn ways to overcome these challenges. Overview What is dyspraxia? Dyspraxia, also known as developmental coordination disorder (DCD), is a chronic condition that begins in childhood that causes difficulties with motor (movement) skills and coordination. Dyspraxia can cause a wide range of issues with movement and coordination. Some of these may be noticeable at an early age, while others may only become obvious as your child gets older. Dyspraxia can affect your child’s coordination skills, which can make riding a bicycle or playing sports difficult. It can also affect their fine motor skills, such as writing or fastening buttons. In the latest edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM-5), developmental coordination disorder is subcategorized as a motor disorder within the broader category of neurodevelopmental disorders. It was previously listed as a Dyspraxia in adults When it’s not used in the context of childhood developmental coordination disorder, the term “dyspraxia” has a broader meaning. Healthcare providers may also use the term “dyspraxia” to describe movement difficulties that happen later in life bec...

The Refer- Causes [ | ] • Lesions of the premotor frontal cortex of either hemisphere, left inferior • Any disease of these areas can cause apraxia, although • Oculomotor apraxia is a dominant genetic trait. • Tissue or cellular damage (lesions) to other specific parts of the brain (the premotor frontal cortex of either hemisphere, left inferior • Individuals with degenerative dementia may also develop Apraxia. • Brain tumor Signs and symptoms [ | ] • Inability to perform movement in the absence of any physical paralysis. • Commands to move are understood, but cannot be executed. • Movement is very clumsy, uncontrolled and inappropriate. • Involuntary an unintentional movement is very common. • Apraxia is sometimes accompanied by a person’s loss of ability to comprehend or use words (Aphasia) • Types of apraxia [ | ] There are two main types of apraxia: 1. Ideational apraxia Ideational apraxia is often seen in patients with extensive left hemisphere damage, It is an inability to perform a purposeful motor act, either automatically or on command, because the patient no longer understands the overall concept of the act, cannot retain the idea of the task, or cannot formulate the motor patterns required. Often the patient can perform isolated components of a task but cannot combine them into a complete act. Furthermore, the patient cannot verbally describe the process of performing an activity, describe the function of objects, or use them appropriately. Cause - Ideational ap...
