The clinical assessment of apraxia | Practical Neurology
In limb-kinetic apraxia, there is a breakdown in fine individuated hand movements, often from a lesion in the contralateral prefrontal cortex or associated subcortical pathways; it is frequently very prominent in patients with corticobasal syndrome.

Limb-kinetic apraxia is another major subtype of apraxia that indicates the loss of the ability to make precise, independent but coordinated finger and hand movements, resulting in inaccurate or clumsy movements. 9 Examples of tasks requiring fine motor performance including buttoning or coin rotation, the latter of which has been proposed as a ...

Five cases of limb-kinetic apraxia following primary degenerative cerebral pathology are reported. Apraxia appeared as the main symptom and was not concomitant to aphasia or to widespread cognitive impairments. Apraxia was not a consequence of elementary motor or sensory deficits, lack of coordinati …

Limb apraxia and the left parietal lobe - PMC - PubMed Central …
Focusing primarily on limb apraxia after left parietal stroke, this chapter examines the neuroanatomic substrates of apraxia, and reviews historical accounts and recent research on the role of the parietal lobe in skilled action. Recent promising approaches to apraxia treatment are briefly considered.
