Ideational apraxia is a neurological condition that affects a person's ability to plan and execute purposeful actions. Individuals with this disorder may struggle to use objects correctly or perform tasks in the right sequence, even if they understand the concept of the action. For example, they might hold a toothbrush but not know how to use it for brushing teeth. This condition often results from damage to specific areas of the brain, such as the parietal lobe or frontal lobe. It can occur in various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and stroke. Treatment typically involves occupational therapy to help individuals regain their functional skills.
