Disease relevance of Apraxia, Ideomotor

Since three years ago, a 71-year old male displays asymmetric ideomotor apraxia, gait apraxia, cortical sensory impairment, myoclonus, limp dystonia and rigidity [1].

Psychiatry related information on Apraxia, Ideomotor

A correlation was found between ideomotor apraxia scores in PD patients and deficits in frontal lobe-related neuropsychological tasks such as the Tower of Hanoi, verbal fluency and the Trail Making Test. Furthermore, PD patients with apraxia showed higher Hamilton depression scores than non-apraxic PD patients [2].

High impact information on Apraxia, Ideomotor

Asymmetric cortico-cortical inhibition in patients with progressive limb-kinetic apraxia [3].
Ideomotor apraxia in Alzheimer disease and left hemisphere stroke: limb transitive and intransitive movements [4].
Ideomotor apraxia and P300: a preliminary study [5].
Both sections of the Face Apraxia Test correlated significantly with the Ideomotor Apraxia Test. However, double dissociations between different types of apraxia were observed [6].
The patient presented with severe ideomotor apraxia as he emerged from coma after cardiorespiratory arrest [7].
