EP 121. Motor sequence learning in patients with limb apraxia – The effects of long-term training

Recent studies show that limb apraxia is often not recognized as a higher motor impairment in patients suffering from a stroke. Because it is adversely affecting every-day life and personal independence, a successful rehabilitation of apraxia is critical for personal well-being (Cappa et al., 2005; Dovern et al., 2012). Yet, evidence of an effective treatment approach with long-lasting effects and generalization to untrained actions is still missing (Binkofski and Klann, 2013; Dovern et al., 2011).
