Abstract |
Apraxic patients show some difficulties due to their disorders in using tools. I reviewed past classifications of apraxic errors. I also described about phenomenology of apraxic behaviors; automatic voluntary dissociation, differences according to task conditions, differences between reflecxive and extrovert actions, semantic knowledges of tools. Then I discussed natures of six errors categories; body form, object manipulation, topographies of tools and objects, body form and object manipulation complex, ordering of serial activities, adjustiment for changing objects. I also referred intervention strategies for each categories of apraxic errors. |
