Unable to plan or execute purposeful movement or actions due to a neurological disorder; affected by apraxia.
From Greek 'a-' meaning 'without' and 'praxis' meaning 'practice' or 'action.' This medical term emerged in the late 19th century as neurology developed.
Apractic reveals something profound about the brain—someone might know exactly what they want to do and how to do it, but their brain can't translate that into actual movement, a gap neuroscience still finds fascinating.
