10 Apraxia Symptoms
Symptom #3: Poor Coordination
Motor coordination refers to the combination of kinetic and kinematic body movements that results in intended actions. Coordination is achieved when the movements of several body parts are combined to lead to an intended action or goal. Coordination involves the integration of proprioceptive information, position, movement of the body, neural processes, control, planning, and relay of motor commands by the central nervous system.
Patients with apraxia may experience gait apraxia, where there is loss of ability to retain normal function of the lower limbs such as walking or running. It is important to note that the inability to walk is not due to the loss of sensory or motor functions.
