Document Summary
Motor function (apraxia) : difficulty with coordinated movement, pantomime gestures (show me how to brush your teeth or comb your hair) Evidence-based practice research to support efficacy of the intervention. Scientifically evaluate the program- try to improve it. Assess what is intervention related vs. natural recovery (neuroplasticity) becomes hard to know what is spontaneous, we wait until that spontaneous recovery ability. Assess outcome expectations tailor to strengths and weaknesses. Smart goal setting (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time limited) Class 1 well design, prospective, rct.

Class 3 clinical series without controls, 1 or more single case utilizing multiple baselines across interventions. Cohort control matched groups, not randomised. Efficacy controlled (is there potential or promise) if study is effective should be efficacy not other way around. External validity how well can it be applicable of results to patients outside the study.
