Rehabilitation of Daily Living Activities in Patients with Dressing Apraxia
Abstract
Praxias may include various complex motor activities. Classically, the apraxia is described as the disorganization of the sequence of movements required for an act (light a cigarette, open a door, etc.), what it is called "ideomotor apraxia" (Liepmann, 1900). Daily life activities (onwards ADL) are the set of the primary activities of the person, aimed at self-care and mobility, which provide it with autonomy and independence elementary and let you live without requiring continuous help from others. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program on the performance of patients with apraxia of dressing. As a result a difference in performance between groups using as dependent variable the sum of right moves evaluated was found, and in turn improved the performance of the treatment group and not in the control. The results obtained in this study suggest that systematic rehabilitation produces learning in people with dressing apraxia.
