HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Definition: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.
Comment:Affected individuals may experience difficulty in performing movements involving the muscles that also are involved in speech (e.g., clicking the tongue, licking the lips, whistling).
Synonyms:exact_synonym: Oral-motor apraxia
