Types of Apraxia

Apraxia: Types list

The list of types of Apraxia mentioned in various sources includes:

  • Limb-kinetic aphasia - loss of fine movements
  • Ideomotor aphasia - loss of motor control
  • Ideational aphasia - loss of planning ability for movements.
  • Buccofacial aphasia (facial-oral aphasia) - loss of facial movement control; most common form.
  • Verbal aphasia - loss of control over speech and mouth movement.
  • Constructional aphasia - inability to draw or construct simple configurations
  • Oculomotor aphasia - loss of eye movement control

Types discussion:

There are several types of apraxia including limb-kinetic (inability to make fine, precise movements with a limb), ideomotor (inability to carry out a motor command), ideational (inability to create a plan for or idea of a specific movement), buccofacial or facial-oral (inability to carry out facial movements on command, i.e., lick lips, whistle, cough, or wink) ? which is perhaps the most common form, verbal (difficulty coordinating mouth and speech movements), constructional (inability to draw or construct simple configurations), and oculomotor (difficulty moving the eyes).
