Praxis, the capability to perform professed or learned movements is essential for diurnal living. Incapability to perform similar praxis movements is defined as apraxia. Apraxia can be farther classified into subtypes similar as ideomotor, theoretical and branch-kinetic apraxia. Applicable brain regions have been set up to include the motor, premotor, temporal and parietal cortices. Apraxia is set up in a variety of largely current neurological diseases including madness, stroke and Parkinsonism. Likewise, apraxia has been shown to negatively affect quality of life. Thus, recognition and treatment of this complaint is critical. This composition provides an overview of apraxia and highlights studies dealing with the neurophysiology of this complaint, opening up new perspectives for the use of motor training and noninvasive brain stimulation as treatment.
