label_lc: oromotor apraxia
description: "Oral-motor apraxia is the inability to volitionally sequence oral movements of the speech structure for nonspeech tasks in the absence of neuromuscular deficits such as paralysis or muscle weakness. Oral-motor apraxia is diagnosed when, despite intact sensory motor function an individual is unable to use these effector systems under voluntary control."
