Pica Ideatatory Apraxia

Pica ideational apraxia is a disorder in which a person is unable to carry out an intentional action, despite intact motor functions.

This disorder was first described by Czech psychiatrist and neurologist Arnold Pick in the early 20th century. He found that some patients with brain lesions were unable to complete simple tasks and instructions, even though they did not have paralysis or other motor impairments.

At the peak of ideational apraxia, the ability to plan and conceive actions is preserved. However, the transmission of these intentions into specific muscle movements is impaired. The person understands the instructions, but cannot follow them correctly.

This disorder is often associated with damage to the frontal lobes of the brain. It is assumed that action programs are formed in these areas, which are then sent to the motor areas of the cortex for implementation.

Treatment of the peak of ideational apraxia is aimed at restoring connections between the areas of planning and execution of actions. Cognitive rehabilitation, drug therapy, and in some cases surgical intervention are used. The prognosis depends on the location and extent of brain damage.
