  • Title: [Heterogeneity of bucco-facial apraxia].
    Author: Ohigashi Y, Hamanaka T, Ohashi H, Hadano K, Kato N, Tomita A, Asano K.
    Journal: Folia Psychiatr Neurol Jpn; 1980; 34(1):35-43. PubMed ID: 6156109.
    Abstract:
    The authors have studied the bucco-facial apraxia (BFA) in 20 aphasic patients, examining 10 isolated oral gesture (IOG) and 10 combined oral gesture (COG). The heterogeneity of the BFA is indicated by the qualitative analysis of the types of errors in COG in relation to IOG. It is probably that the BFA due to the posterior lesions might base on the motor programming disorders of oral gestures, and that the BFA due to the anterior lesions on the motor realization disorders of oral gestures. It remains unsolved whether there is a continuity or some varieties between two types of BFA.
