10 Apraxia Symptoms
Symptom #7: Excessive Use of Nonverbal Communication
Nonverbal communication is the transmission of information through tactile, visual, or physical channels. It involves the use of body language, touch, distance, appearance, and more. It can also include eye contact, patterns of fixations, blink rate, and so on. Nonverbal communication takes into account facial expressions, posture, tone of voice, gestures, and body movements.
Culture is an important factor in nonverbal communication as it helps to influence learning, interpersonal interactions, and cultural values. In patients with apraxia, there is excessive use of nonverbal communication as a means of expressing themselves.
