 Praxis can be defined as meaningful, volition-controlled actions. While apraxia is a core manifestation of impaired praxis, damage to the frontal lobes also causes impairment of praxis apart from apraxia. Difficulties initiating and maintaining actions, and disinhibition of actions are the most important features of frontal-related praxis disorders.

 Lesions in the frontal lobes may produce some types of apraxia. Denny-Brown proposed the concept of kinetic apraxia. One component of the kinetic apraxia is magnetic apraxia, in which contralateral limb mobility is affected by abnormal release of grasp reaction after unilateral damage of the frontal lobe. Although kinetic apraxia is not categorized into a class of apraxia in the modern concept, the idea of the two opponent functions of the frontal and parietal lobes toward the environment became more attractive. Other types of apraxia caused by the frontal lobe damage are ideomotor apraxia and buccofacial apraxia. These are associated with lesions involving Broca's area, precentral gyrus, and their underlying subcortical white matter in the dominant side and with Broca's aphasia.
