Apraxia is a neurological condition that causes difficulty with purposeful movements, even though the patient has the physical ability to move. This can make it difficult for a stroke patient to manipulate utensils and eat from a plate. Prosopagnosia is the difficulty recognizing faces; aphasia is difficulty with language; and paraphasias are errors in speech. While these conditions could also affect a stroke patient's ability to eat, they are not directly related to manipulating utensils and plates.
