    Apraxic disorders
    affecting upper and lower limbs and upper and lower face districts were investigated by
    means of newly arranged and standardised tests. The role of the right hemisphere for face
    apraxia and SMA for locomotion have been addressed. 
    Most important papers are marked with an asterisk.
