Abstract

There exist few clinical assessments for limb apraxia, a disorder of learned, purposeful action, that enable clinicians to distinguish pathological from normal variance in limb praxis performance. We describe a theoretically motivated, comprehensive assessment battery for limb apraxia and present control comparison scores for 16 older healthy normal individuals on subtests designed to distinguish the integrity of components of the praxis system.

We thank the participants for their contribution to this study. This research was funded by a National Health and Medical Research Council (NH&MRC) Dora Lush Biomedical Scholarship to the first author.
