“…To aid the clinical evaluation of apraxia, several short screening tools appropriate for bedside testing have been developed, including the Apraxia Screen of the Test of Upper Limb Apraxia (TULIA) and the Short Test for Apraxia (202,203). More comprehensive batteries can be considered as well, including the Tool for Oral and Limb Apraxia, the De Renzi Ideomotor Apraxia Test, the complete TULIA, and the Florida Apraxia Battery (204)(205)(206)(207).…”

Best Practices in the Clinical Management of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal Syndrome: A Consensus Statement of the CurePSP Centers of Care

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS; the most common phenotype of corticobasal degeneration) are tauopathies with a relentless course, usually starting in the mid-60s and leading to death after an average of 7 years. There is as yet no specific or disease-modifying treatment. Clinical deficits in PSP are numerous, involve the entire neuraxis, and present as several discrete phenotypes. They center on rigidity, bradykinesia, postural instability, gait freezing, supranuclear ocular motor impairment, dysarthria, dysphagia, incontinence, sleep disorders, frontal cognitive dysfunction, and a variety of behavioral changes. CBS presents with prominent and usually asymmetric dystonia, apraxia, myoclonus, pyramidal signs, and cortical sensory loss. The symptoms and deficits of PSP and CBS are amenable to a variety of treatment strategies but most physicians, including many neurologists, are reluctant to care for patients with these conditions because of unfamiliarity with their multiplicity of interacting symptoms and deficits. CurePSP, the organization devoted to support, research, and education for PSP and CBS, created its CurePSP Centers of Care network in North America in 2017 to improve patient access to clinical expertise and develop collaborations. The directors of the 25 centers have created this consensus document outlining best practices in the management of PSP and CBS. They formed a writing committee for each of 12 sub-topics. A 4-member Steering Committee collated and edited the contributions. The result was returned to the entire cohort of authors for further comments, which were considered for incorporation by the Steering Committee. The authors hope that this publication will serve as a convenient guide for all clinicians caring for patients with PSP and CBS and that it will improve care for patients with these devastating but manageable disorders.

“… 5 - 8 Considering this, few studies have been carried out to specifically examine the influence of demographic variables on praxis skills, although there is recent research related to limb apraxia assessment. 9 , 10 Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of individuals without neurological injury on a limb apraxia battery and to determine the influence of gender, age, and education on the assessed praxis skills.…”

Introduction: Apraxia is defined as a disorder of learned skilled movements, in the absence of elementary motor or sensory deficits and general cognitive impairment, such as inattention to commands, object-recognition deficits or poor oral comprehension. Limb apraxia has long been a challenge for clinical assessment and understanding and covers a wide spectrum of disorders, all involving motor cognition and the inability to perform previously learned actions. Demographic variables such as gender, age, and education can influence the performance of individuals on different neuropsychological tests. Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the performance of healthy subjects on a limb apraxia battery and to determine the influence of gender, age, and education on the praxis skills assessed. Methods: Forty-four subjects underwent a limb apraxia battery, which was composed of numerous subtests for assessing both the semantic aspects of gestural production as well as motor performance itself. The tasks encompassed lexical-semantic aspects related to gestural production and motor activity in response to verbal commands and imitation. Results: We observed no gender effects on any of the subtests. Only the subtest involving visual recognition of transitive gestures showed a correlation between performance and age. However, we observed that education level influenced subject performance for all sub tests involving motor actions, and for most of these, moderate correlations were observed between education level and performance of the praxis tasks. Conclusion: We conclude that the education level of participants can have an important influence on the outcome of limb apraxia tests.

“…Existen otros test menos utilizados en España como los alemanes Diagnostic Instrument for Limb Apraxia (DILA), su versión reducida (DILA-S) 23 y el Köllner Apraxie Screening (KAS), 24 el italiano Short Test for Ideo-Motor Apraxia (STIMA), [25][26] el argentino Short Apraxia Screening Test (SAST), 27 los franceses en la Batería de Evaluación de la Praxia (BEP) y su versión reducida (BREP), 28 o los australo-americanos de la Florida Apraxia Battery-Extended and Revised Sydney (FABERS) y la Florida Apraxia Battery (FAB). 29 Todas estas pruebas logran una aproximación al diagnóstico clínico de la apraxia, pero también presentan algunas limitaciones útiles para la práctica clínica, al no valorar el uso de objetos, gestos reales vs no reales, gestos proximales vs distales, transitivos vs intransitivos, reflexivos vs no reflexivos, con significado vs sin significado, problemas mecánicos, secuencias, disociaciones pantomima-uso del objeto, la apraxia voluntaria vs automática, etc.…”

La apraxia es una alteración frecuente en las personas que han sufrido un ictus en el hemisferio izquierdo, con importantes repercusiones sobre su calidad de vida. Aunque se han propuesto varios modelos para su interpretación y abordaje, algunos aspectos están aún en estudio. El objetivo de este trabajo es revisar los modelos actuales sobre la apraxia de extremidades, analizar las pruebas de evaluación disponibles y realizar recomendaciones para la práctica clínica. En la revisión se pone de manifiesto que en la literatura existe un mayor interés en el sistema conceptual de la ruta léxico-semántica, sin que haya sido desarrollado en detalle el sistema conceptual de la ruta visuomotora. En este artículo se propone un modelo de las apraxias que supera estas limitaciones y se describe un método de valoración centrado en el conocimiento del cuerpo en la ruta visuomotora. Finalmente se concluye que son necesarios más estudios que validen experimentalmente el modelo propuesto y los métodos de evaluación asociados.

Short apraxia screening test

Abstract: The screening test proved to have high specificity and sensitivity to diagnose every type of upper limb praxis deficit, thus showing advantages over previously published tests.
