Effects of ideomotor apraxia on functional outcomes in patients with right hemiplegia.

30 May 2008 The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ideomotor apraxia on activities of daily living and to determine if the presence of apraxia interferes with rehabilitation. This study was conducted on 47 patients with right hemiplegia. All the ... Read more...

Ovarian failure in ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2.

30 Jul 2007 Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2 (AOA2) is an autosomal recessive disorder associated with mutations in the Senataxin (SETX) gene. Clinical manifestations (ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, oculomotor apraxia) of this disease have previously been ... Read more...

Posture recognition in Alzheimer's disease.

3 Oct 2006 BACKGROUND: Apraxia is neurologically induced deficit in the ability perform purposeful skilled movements. One of the most common forms is ideomotor apraxia (IMA) where spatial and temporal production errors are most prevalent. IMA can be associated ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Apraxia, Ideomotor'

Definition: A form of APRAXIA characterized by an acquired inability to carry out a complex motor activity despite the ability to mentally formulate the action. This condition has been attributed to a disruption of connections between the dominant parietal cortex and supplementary and premotor cortical regions in both hemispheres. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p57)
