NINDS: Apraxia (called "dyspraxia" if mild) is a neurological disorder characterized by loss of the ability to execute or carry out
skilled movements and gestures, despite having the desire and the physical ability to perform them. Apraxia results from dysfunction
of the cerebral hemispheres of the brain, especially the parietal lobe, and can arise from many diseases or damage to the
brain.There are several kinds of apraxia, which may occur alone or together. The most common is buccofacial or orofacial apraxia,
which causes the inability to carry out facial movements on command such as licking lips, whistling, coughing, or winking.
Other types of apraxia include limb-kinetic apraxia (the inability to make fine, precise movements with an arm or leg), ideomotor
apraxia (the inability to make the proper movement in response to a verbal command), ideational apraxia (the inability to
coordinate activities with multiple, sequential movements, such as dressing, eating, and bathing), verbal apraxia (difficulty
coordinating mouth and speech movements), constructional apraxia (the inability to copy, draw, or construct simple figures),
and oculomotor apraxia (difficulty moving the eyes on command). Apraxia may be accompanied by a language disorder called aphasia.
Corticobasal ganglionic degeneration is a disease that causes a variety of types of apraxia, especially in elderly adults.31
MalaCards: Apraxia, also known as dyspraxia, is related to early-onset ataxia with oculomotor apraxia and hypoalbuminemia and oculomotor apraxia. An important gene associated with Apraxia is APTX (aprataxin), and among its related pathways are DNA damage_NHEJ mechanisms of DSBs repair and DNA Damage. The compounds pemoline and spec-t have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, cortex and parietal lobe, and related mouse phenotypes are cellular and nervous system. Disease Ontology: An agnosia that is a loss of the ability to map out physical actions in order to repeat them in functional activities.6 Wikipedia: Apraxia (from the Greek root word praxis, for an act, work, or deed, preceded by an privative a, meaning...44 more... |
