Apraxia & Neglect Flashcards
Define apraxia
inability to carry out a learned skilled movement that cannot be attributed to sensorimotor dysfunction or comprehension deficits
They understand what has to be done, they have the capacity to do it but performance fails
is apraxia a motor deficit or a higher order deficit?
higher order deficit: their gross motor movement can be completely fine yet still they cannot complete tasks
Can someone with apraxia tell you the steps to do a transfer?
yes! but they will not be able to perform it
Hippocampus is in what lobe
what does the hippocampus tell you?
temporal lobe: WHAT - facts, explicit steps
what lobe is the “how” pathway in
parietal lobe: HOW - implicit and procedural
what lobe
why lobe
what = temporal and hippocampus
how = parietal (L lobe)
is L or R parietal lobe involved more in praxis?
LEFT
the angular and supramarginal gyrus function is what?
they store the learned motor plans for functional actions
from angular and supramarginal gyri follow the path of action to the control of the R side of the body
angular and supramarginal gyri (which are in the L inferior parietal lobe) –>L premotor cortex –> L primary motor cortex –> control of the R side of the body
from angular and supramarginal gyri follow the path of action to the control of the L side of the body
angular and supramarginal gyri (which are in the L inferior parietal lobe) –> L premotor cortex –> corpus collosum –> R premotor cortex –> R primary motor cortex –> control of the L side
where is the angular and supramarginal gyri located
inferior potion of the L parietal lobe
true or false: both angular and supramarginal gyri work to control both L and R primary motor cortex’s?
true!
If you have a lesion in the L gyris, deficits that are not motor in nature and are apraxic in nature will be bilateral!
define ideational apraxia
affects OBJECT USE
inappropriate or incorrect sequencing
define ideomotor apraxia
inability to pantomime or imitate
actual tool use is fine
if someone can use an object two different ways and struggles to do so, is that ideational or ideomotor apraxia?
ideational
Not remembering to lock the WC before transferring would be a ideational or ideomotor apraxia?
ideational
object misuse would be ideational or ideomotor?
ideational
no response/initiation would be ideational or ideomotor?
ideational
omission of steps or sequencing errors would be ideational or ideomotor?
ideation
Doesn’t use an object even when available would be ideational or ideomotor?
ideational
Perseveration would be ideational or ideomotor?
ideational
awkward, clumsy movements or imprecise would be ideational or ideomotor?
ideomotor
crossing midline becomes difficult would be ideational or ideomotor?
ideomotor
difficulty sequencing movements alone would be ideational or ideomotor?
ideomotor
Spatial orientation erros would be would be ideational or ideomotor?
ideomotor
difficulty coupling joints would be ideational or ideomotor?
ideomotor
Difficulty timing movement would be would be ideational or ideomotor?
ideomotor
which is more subtle ideational or ideomotor?
ideomotor
uses a straw as a spoon would be ideational or ideomotor?
ideational
IA
Doesn’t “know how” to turn on a water faucet would be ideational or ideomotor?
ideomotor
IM
