TL;DR
The pattern of results goes against a deficit of motor execution as being the cause of defective imitation in patients with LBD, as it is difficult to see why such a deficit should affect proximal movements necessary for reaching hand positions more than differential finger movements.
Abstract
The pattern of results goes against a deficit of motor execution as being the cause of defective imitation in patients with LBD, as it is difficult to see why such a deficit should affect proximal movements necessary for reaching hand positions more than differential finger movements. An alternative explanation would be that in patients with LBD errors are due to defective mediation by knowledge about the human body whereas in patients with RBD they stem from faulty visuospatial analysis of the demonstrated gesture.

In left brain-damaged patients apraxia was not only more frequent, but also much more severe and was nearly always associated with aphasia, and the link between the two symptoms was thought to be dependent on the contiguity of the underlying nervous structures.

It is argued that some form of body-reference system can be available in autotopagnosia and is independent from the visuospatial representations of the body structure that are postulated to be damaged or inaccessible in this syndrome.

Analysis of CT scans revealed that apraxia occurred with frontal, parietal and deep lesions, and that the impairment on the manipulation of the mannikin was present regardless of lesion site.

It is inferred that the left hemisphere dominance for praxis is more marked at the ideational stage and that there is also a minor right hemisphere participation in the control of the executive stage of gesture.

The aim of the investigation was to ascertain whether there are apractic syndromes which are either related to the aphasic Syndromes or are characterized by certain types of errors or by manifestation on certain parts of the body.

It can be concluded that a common factor underlies success in identifying body parts under all conditions and that this factor is the strength and precision of the conceptual representation of individual body parts.

Several task demands were examined in a battery of praxis tests: the movement system (limb versus axial), input modality (command versus imitation), movement complexity (single gestures versus a sequence of gestures), type of limb gesture (transitive versus intransitive), and the representational nature of the gestures.
