📋Overview
Apraxia is a neurological disorder characterized by difficulty in planning and executing purposeful movements despite having the physical ability and desire to perform them. It is a symptom rather than a standalone disease and often results from brain damage, particularly to the parietal lobes or connections between brain regions involved in motor planning. The term 'apraxia' is the preferred modern terminology.
