Producing a tool use gesture is a complex process drawing upon the integration of stored
knowledge of tools and their associated actions with sensory–motor mechanisms supporting …

Numerous functional neuroimaging studies suggest that widespread bilateral parietal,
temporal, and frontal regions are involved in tool-related and pantomimed gesture …

Limb apraxia is a syndrome often observed after stroke that affects the ability to perform
skilled actions despite intact elementary motor and sensory systems. In a large cohort of …

Limb apraxia is a heterogeneous disorder of skilled action and tool use that has long
perplexed clinicians and researchers. It occurs after damage to various loci in a densely …

When pantomiming the use of tools, patients with limb apraxia after left hemisphere stroke
(LCVA) produce more spatiotemporal hand action errors with tools associated with …

The study aimed to elucidate areas involved in recognizing tool-associated actions, and to
characterize the relationship between recognition and active performance of tool use. We …

Impaired tool use despite preserved basic motor functions occurs after stroke in the context
of apraxia, a cognitive motor disorder. To elucidate the neuroanatomical underpinnings of …

Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Limb apraxia is a group of higher order
motor disorders associated with greater disability and dependence after stroke. Original …

The frontal and parietal cortex are intimately involved in the representation of goal-directed
movements, but the crucial neuroanatomical sites are not well established in humans. In …

The ability to select between potential actions is central to the complex process of tool use.
After left hemisphere stroke, individuals with limb apraxia make more hand action errors …
