This word can be transliterated into Tagalog as apraksya or apraksiya.
Apraxia is a motor disorder caused by damage to the brain, which causes difficulty with motor planning to perform tasks or movements. The nature of the damage determines the disorder’s severity, and the absence of sensory loss or paralysis helps to explain the level of difficulty.
Children may be born with apraxia; its cause is unknown, and symptoms are usually noticed in the early stages of development.
Apraxia occurring later in life, known as acquired apraxia, is typically caused by traumatic brain injury, stroke, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, brain tumor, or other neurodegenerative disorders. The multiple types of apraxia are categorized by the specific ability and/or body part affected.
