Apraxia is a neurological disorder that affects motor cognition, planning, and task performance without apparent neurological insult to basic motor function, sensation, or comprehension. This disorder can result from various types of brain lesions, including stroke, dementia, tumors, neurocognitive disorders, and brain injuries. Identifying and diagnosing apraxia primarily relies on clinical assessment, lacking broad consensus on methods and definitions. Understanding the relevant neuroanatomy and conducting a comprehensive physical examination are crucial for evaluating and managing the condition. Treatment modalities involve managing the underlying disorder and implementing associated supportive measures. Early identification of apraxia can significantly enhance the patient’s ability to perform activities of daily living.This activity comprehensively reviews the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical assessment, evaluation, treatment, and complications of apraxia. This activity also emphasizes the integral role of the interprofessional healthcare team in evaluating and treating patients with this condition. This activity offers strategies for fostering effective communication and collaboration among multidisciplinary healthcare team members involved in apraxia care, thereby optimizing patient outcomes.
