“…To minimise the impact of aphasia on following the test's instructions and providing responses, the test incorporates pictures to illustrate the activities in question, and responses are made by pointing to a non-verbal scale. The measure has been used to scope the incidence of anosognosia for aphasia (18.9% of those tested by , and to explore the relationships between anosognosia and depression in people with aphasia (Cocchini, Crosta, Allen, Zaro, & Beschin, 2013), anosognosia and language difficulties in people with dementia (Savage, Piguet & Hodges, 2015), and awareness of aphasia and apraxia (Canzano, Scandola, Pernigo, Aglioti & Moro, 2014).…”

“…The orofacial apraxia refers to an inability to execute praxis related to facial, lingual, pharyngeal and masticatory actions [2] [3]. Apraxias are higher cognitive function disorders which affect patients after a stroke or lesions in posterior region of the brain [3], i.e.…”

Abstract-Traumatic Brain Injury or injuries involving the posterior region of the brain can cause orofacial apraxia. Rehabilitation and diagnosis of pathologies associated with apraxias require better tools to evaluate and quantify the muscles activation during praxis performing. Developing a protocol to acquire surface electromyography (sEMG) from small muscles associated with orofacial praxis is necessary for the quantitative valuation of apraxias. In this paper we aim to test the use of Ag/AgCl electrodes with 20 mm diameter respect to Au electrodes with 7 mm diameter to acquire sEMG from orofacial muscles. Our findings show that there is not statistically significant difference between medians of Ag/AgCl and Au measures. We recommend the use of Ag/AgCl in the masseter region and Au electrodes in the orbicularis oris and other small muscles.

“…Recently, Canzano, Scandola, Pernigo, Aglioti, and Moro (2014) conducted the first study investigating awareness for apraxic deficits showing that LH damaged patients suffering from bucco-facial apraxia may have reduced awareness for their apraxic deficit.…”

“…To date, the level of awareness for apraxia has only been investigated in patients suffering from bucco-facial apraxia (Canzano et al, 2014). As two separable praxis systems seem to underlie bucco-facial and limb apraxia (Raade, Rothi, & Heilman, 1991), it is mandatory to investigate whether patients suffering from limb apraxia also show reduced awareness for their apraxic deficits.…”
