Document Summary
Last week: moca and mmse are quick tools to assess the brain, a quick clinical evaluation. Video: alzheimer"s adults have symptoms like cataracts and arthritis and hearing consistent jabbering, they talk to themselves to organize their thoughts. A lot of older adults have macular degenerative disease which is where they have an impairment of central vision. Apraxia is a disorder of learned skilled purposeful movement . For example, how do you drink soup, showing the movement but they cannot, they may be able to describe it but have difficulty translating the knowledge into action. Disorder is to high-level movement it is the conceptual part not just movement, he cannot use the information to produce a response. The mri above is of the apraxic individual. Has a large left parietal lobe region, there is an infarct or lesion to the left parietal lobe (fairly extensive and has impaired the individual). Diagram: participant of kinematics of movement (the apraxic individual).
