The Relationship Between Apraxia of Speech and Oral Apraxia: Association or Dissociation?

The relationship between working memory and apraxia of speech.

The present study aimed to verify the relationship between working memory (WM) and apraxia of speech and explored which WM components were involved in the motor planning of speech. A total of 22 patients and 22 healthy adults were studied. These patients were selected according to the following inclusion criteria: a single brain lesion in the left hemisphere, presence of apraxia of speech and s...

Visual-imitative dissociation apraxia.

Liepmann posited that, in right handers, the left parietal lobe contains movement formulas or representations. Therefore, performance failures may be induced by degraded representations, a failure of these representations to influence motor systems or a failure of stimuli to fully access these representations. Imitation may help the performance of subjects with degraded representations. However...

Developmental Apraxia of Speech

The Apraxia of Speech Rating Scale: a tool for diagnosis and description of apraxia of speech.

UNLABELLED The purpose of this report is to describe an initial version of the Apraxia of Speech Rating Scale (ASRS), a scale designed to quantify the presence or absence, relative frequency, and severity of characteristics frequently associated with apraxia of speech (AOS). In this paper we report intra-judge and inter-judge reliability, as well as indices of validity, for the ASRS which was c...

Assessment of apraxia: inter-rater reliability of a new apraxia test, association between apraxia and other cognitive deficits and prevalence of apraxia in a rehabilitation setting.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the inter-rater reliability of a new apraxia test. Furthermore to examine the association of apraxia with other neuropsychological impairments and the prevalence of apraxia in a rehabilitation setting on the basis of the new test. DESIGN Cross-sectional cohort study, involving 100 patients with a first stroke admitted to a rehabilitation centre in the Netherlands. M...
