Ideomotor Apraxia Symptoms
What is ideomotor apraxia and where is the lesion responsible for it?
Ideomotor apraxia is the inability to perform learned familiar movements to command.
The lesion usually includes the dominant inferior parietal area (and/or the arcuate fasciculus), which is believed to contain spatiotemporal representations of learned skilled movements (“praxicons”).
These are then translated into motor output through the mediation of the premotor cortex.
