10 Apraxia Symptoms
Symptom #2: Conceptual Apraxia
In conceptual apraxia, the patient is unable to plan their task and complete the necessary actions. They are unable to select and carry out the necessary steps to achieve an action. For example, a patient who wants to have buttered toast for breakfast may complete their actions in incorrect orders. This would mean that they might butter their bread before putting it in the toaster. Likewise, they may put on their shoes before socks.
Patients with conceptual apraxia have somewhat lost the idea or concept about the necessary tools or objects. They may try to comb their hair with a toothbrush or write with a screwdriver.
