Aphasia and Apraxia

[tfelbo]

Apraxia doesn't only "apply" to speech, but in some people also to other tasks. One example is, that some of these apraxia patients know what a scissor is and what it does, but is not able to use it once picked up.

Aphasia is not a loss of intellect.

To overcome aphasia:

If you cant understand it when you hear it, read it.

If you can't say it, write it.

Excellent video, great presentation! I suffered a stroke about a year ago and struggled with apraxia for the first 3-4 months. Music helped me: singing, listening to music, dancing. Actually, a ballet class really did the trick for me. Because that supported the re-development of bodily coordination. Thank you for sharing your knowledge here.

Hi,

I'm a 51 year young guy who has aphasia. Reason being, Had a cat- scan.... found anuasm...prior to surgery, injected embolisation, which casued aphasia. This was 11 years ago. Thanks for sharing about your comments. It has been very helpful. I struggled the first couple of years, but certainly speech has improved. My strengths are my wife and four kids how have always supported me.

im confused. it sounds like when she's describing apraxia.. she is talking about dysarthria.

[clc115]

Dysarthria is a condition where the individual muscles are affected (paralysis, paresis, weakness, etc.) Apraxia is a condition where the signal from the brain to the muscles is affected. The muscles themselves are ok, but the signal is disrupted.

Hello,

Can anyone tell me if apraxia the same as verbal dyspraxia?

Thanks!

[jessi330]

No. Apraxia can mean a range of issues. Apraxia usually has to do with not being able to move body parts the way the person wants.

[Sidley4444]

Hey Jessi thanks for your response! :)

I'll do some reading on it all.

Thanks again.
