Apraxia

Apraxia results from parietal lobe lesions. It is a movement syndrome in which everyday movements is not the result of weakness, failure to move, impaired muscle tone, impairments of intellect, or other syndromes (Kolb and Whishaw, 2008).There are some kinds of apraxia. In ideomotor apraxia the patient cannot make the same movements by copying them, as well as difficulties with gestures. In the other apraxia, constructional apraxia, patients are impaired in spatial organization.
