apraxia
Let an agent explain apraxia at a general, factual level from medical reference sources, relay its causes and forms, describe the forms its aliases name, distinguish it from weakness and from agnosia, and route personal concerns to a clinician.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain apraxia at a general, factual level from medical reference sources, relay its causes and forms, describe the forms its aliases name, distinguish it from weakness and from agnosia, and route personal concerns to a clinician.
A neurological disorder in which a person cannot carry out learned, purposeful movements despite having the desire, the physical ability and an understanding of the task; it results from damage to parts of the brain that plan movement, not from weakness or paralysis. The registry aliases name forms such as limb apraxia, ideomotor apraxia, apraxia of speech and gait and orofacial apraxia. This is a medical topic, and any personal situation should be directed to a qualified clinician.
What it is for: Not applicable; a neurological disorder.
It can be explain the disorder generally; relay causes and forms; distinguish it from weakness; route personal concerns to a clinician.
Distinguishing features
Loss of learned movement
Not due to weakness
Several distinct forms
Neurological origin
What it looks like
Not a visible object; a difficulty performing learned movements on request.
Physical character
cause: brain damage affecting movement planning note
not caused by: weakness or paralysis note
registry parent: agnosia note - in the registry hierarchy
How it is recognised
Inability to perform learned purposeful movements
Limb, ideomotor, speech, gait and orofacial apraxia
Weakness or paralysis is loss of strength; agnosia is a recognition disorder
