| The exact pathogenesis of Apraxia is not fully understood. It could be due to a defect in the brain pathways that comprise memory of learned forms of movement. Any disease that is related to these areas can lead to apraxia, stroke, dementia are the leading causes, but there are many other causes as well. The lesion cause could be because of certain metabolic, neurological, or other disorders that influence the brain, predominantly the frontal lobe, inferior parietal lobule of the left hemisphere of the brain. In this area, complex, 3-dimensional depictions of formerly learned patterns and movements are stored<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/apraxia/#:~:text=Apraxia%20is%20caused%20by%20a,left%20hemisphere%20of%20the%20brain.|title=|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}}</ref>. Patients with apraxia cannot regain these representations of stored, skilled actions.Therefore, patients with apraxia are unable to perform daily living activities well.
