Apraxia
Overview
neurological disorder characterized by loss of the ability to execute or carry out learned purposeful movements, despite having the desire and the physical ability to perform the movements.
Apraxia is the inability to carry out familiar, purposeful movements, where the cause is something other than paralysis or other sensory or motor impairments.

Reviewed By: Luc Jasmin, MD, PhD, Department of Neurosurgery and Gene Therapeutics Research Institute, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA. Review provided by VeriMed Healthcare Network.
Apraxia is the inability to perform precise movements or actions due to a neurological disorder. A person with apraxia may want to perform a specific action or make a gesture, and have the physical ability to do so, but their brain prevents them.
Apraxia of speech is often present along with another speech disorder called aphasia. Depending on the cause of apraxia, a number of other brain or nervous system problems may be present.

There are two types of ataxia with oculomotor apraxia. The two types are very similar but are caused by mutations in different genes.
Apraxia. This is the inability to carry out certain tasks, even though you know how to do them and have the physical ability to perform them. For example, you may not be able to lick your lips or move your eyes.
Apraxias include:
Limb kinetic apraxia is the loss of fine motor control that may occur after a stroke. The person cannot manage tasks involving fine motor control, for example, tying a shoelace or buttoning a shirt.

apraxia - inability to make a voluntary movement in spite of being able to demonstrate normal muscle function.
Apraxia (dyspraxia), also known as oral-motor speech disorder, is a problem with motor coordination or motor planning. A person with this speech problem has difficulty moving the muscles and structures necessary to form speech sounds into words.
Apraxia
Definition Apraxia is neurological condition characterized by loss of the ability to perform activities that a person is physically able and willing to do.
apraxia Inability to carry out previously learned skilled motor activities despite intact comprehension and motor function; this may be seen in dementia.
Apraxia: The inability to execute a voluntary motor movement despite being able to demonstrate normal muscle function.
Neurapraxia
A stretch injury that "shocks," but does not tear the nerve is the most common type. This is called a neurapraxia (new-rah-PRAK-see-ah). Normally, these injuries heal on their own, usually within 3 months.
Neurapraxia
Neurapraxia. Injury to a nerve resulting in paralysis without degeneration and followed by rapid and complete recovery of function.

Apraxia happens when you are unable to do learned movements or gestures. You may have the desire and the physical ability to do the movements, but you cannot. This is usually due to brain damage, such as a stroke or a brain tumor.

Apraxia, Constructional - Inability to assemble, build, draw, or copy accurately; not due to apraxia of single movements.
Apraxia: Apraxia is a condition where a person can no longer do movements when asked to do so. There is nothing wrong with the muscles themselves. The person understands the command, and wants to make the movement, but cannot physically do it.

The nerve has been stretched but not torn—the injury occurs outside the spinal cord.
It’s the most common form.
Affected nerve(s) may recover on their own—usually within 3 months of the baby’s life.
