What happens during the disease - apraxia
Apraxia is a neurological disorder that affects the ability to plan and execute motor activities, even though the individual has normal strength and sensation. it is caused by damage to the brain, typically to the frontal and parietal lobes, which are responsible for the coordination of movement. this damage can be caused by stroke, brain injury, or other neurological conditions, such as dementia or alzheimer's disease. the exact cause of apraxia is unknown, but it is believed to be related to an inability to process sensory information and plan motor activities.
