Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Apraxia is typically caused by damage to the brain, such as from a stroke, head injury, or neurodegenerative disease. It results in difficulty planning and executing skilled movements, such as writing, buttoning a shirt, or using utensils. Cognitive skills are usually not affected. Apraxia is not typically a genetic disorder, although there may be some rare genetic forms. While individuals with apraxia may have difficulty understanding instructions related to a task they are struggling with, this is not a defining feature of the disorder.
