ABSTRACT
Certain disorders of voluntary movement have been described and classified as types of dyspraxia whose status as true dyspraxias, in the sense discussed in Chapters 1 and 2, is disputed. The number of these goes far beyond those covered here (amnestic, bladder, eye-lid, palpebral . . . ) , which are chosen not just because the appreciation of their nature is important for the clinical necessities of recognition, assessment and rehabilitation. They are also chosen because understanding them adds further perspectives in comprehending the mechanisms and breakdown in the dyspraxias.
