This type of disturbance of movement has always been associated with cerebral lesions, usually of such large or diffuse nature that attempts to relate the disorder to damage to a specific area have been fruitless. The descriptive lit-erature relating to various types of apraxia is extensive, and is characterized by a profusion of terminology that was only partly clarified by certain notable studies (27, 28, 42, 46, 53) and particularly those of Liepmann (36–38). The early history of the sub-ject was well reviewed by Wilson in 1908 (57), and since that time by Brun in 1921–22 (10), by Woltman in 1923 (59), and by Sittig in 1931 (53). The monographs of Nielsen (44), Poetzl (48) and Critchley (11) have covered more recent aspects. In the early literature it is apparent that the term apraxia was used by Starr, Pick (45, 46) and others in the sense that we now use the term agnosia. Liepmann's (36–38) separation of ideational from ideo-kinetic and limb-kinetic types of disorder was the first clear definition of degrees of apractic disorder of movement with and without dis-turbance of perception. It is not our intention to review here the many shades of opinion that have been expressed regarding Liepmann's original classification. In 1920 he himself finally elaborated a regional grouping into apractic disturbances of the
