释义 | apraxia noun[ U ] medical specializeduk /əˈpræk.si.ə/ us /eɪˈpræk.si.ə/ a medical condition in which someone is unable to move their muscles in a controlled way because of damage to part of their brain that controls movement: The paper discusses the rehabilitation and management of apraxia after stroke. Patients who have apraxia of speech are unable to program the sequence of movements that are required for producing sounds of speech. Apraxia may be detected when a patient is unable to carry out a task on command such as "comb your hair" or "wave goodbye". Apraxia refers to an inability to perform skilled actions despite intact basic motor and sensory abilities. Slowly progressive apraxia increased over a 5-year period, and primarily involved finger movements.

Imitating gestures and manipulating a manikin - the representation on the human body in ideomotor apraxia. Testing indicated that she did not have orofacial apraxia. Intervention studies on apraxia can be divided into three categories which are reviewed below. By means of introduction, some issues concerning apraxia in general and assessment of apraxia in particular are presented. Rehabilitation and management of apraxia after stroke should be considered. Studies on the effectiveness of apraxia treatment have shown that compensatory strategies may be the most effective approach. Patients were randomly assigned to a study group receiving experimental training for limb apraxia or a control group receiving conventional treatment for aphasia. Research has concentrated on the localisation of that part of the brain whose distortion causes apraxia of speech. Efficacy of strategy training in left hemisphere stroke patients with apraxia: a randomized clinical trial. The left hemisphere may be needed to attend to, or generate, self-action; this explains left lateralization for apraxia, imitation of another, and imagining self-action. It was also good to see a chapter devoted to the motor system with a very clear discussion of the apraxias. In performance, his apraxia can explain some of these difficulties. Nevertheless, some interesting comments were provided on the topic of apraxia, and these deserve discussion. The practical significance and ecological impact of apraxia should however convince the clinician to incorporate the treatment of apraxia into the overall rehabilitation programme.
