ULA construct included the components of nonsymbolic imitation, intransitive imitation, transitive imitation, nonsymbolic pantomime, intransitive pantomime, transitive pantomime, and praxis function in daily life activities.

These findings serve as the foundation for designing and developing novel clinical interventions in occupational therapy.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Plain-Language Summary:<\/jats:bold>\n After a stroke, patients often experience difficulties participating in roles that provide a sense of purpose in daily activities. This decrease in participation is partly because of cognitive factors. Upper limb apraxia (ULA) is a cognitive sequela of stroke that hinders the ability to perform deliberate and essential movements. ULA can affect daily life by posing challenges in the execution of daily tasks and activities, which can affect a person\u2019s independence, participation, and community reintegration. Because ULA is a cognitive dysfunction that affects intentional movements, this study investigated the potential relationship between ULA and role participation. Based on the evaluation of 153 patients with mild to moderate poststroke, the results revealed that ULA is associated with role participation after a stroke. These findings serve as the foundation for occupational therapists to design and develop novel clinical interventions.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5014\/ajot.2025.050865","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,12]],"date-time":"2025-06-12T13:46:20Z","timestamp":1749735980000},"page":"791-802","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Upper Limb Apraxia Is Related to Role Participation Among Patients With Mild to Moderate Stroke"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"79","author":[{"given":"Laura","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Bermejo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laura S\u00e1nchez-Bermejo, OT, PhD, MSc, is Postdoctoral Researcher, Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biosanitaria ibs.GRANADA, and Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Granada, Granada, Spain;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pedro Jes\u00fas","family":"Milla-Ortega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pedro Jes\u00fas Milla-Ortega, RN, MSn, is Registered Nurse, Emergencies Primary Care Service, Granada Health District, and Member, Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biosanitaria ibs.GRANADA, Granada, Spain."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Manuel","family":"P\u00e9rez-M\u00e1rmol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jos\u00e9 Manuel P\u00e9rez-M\u00e1rmol, OT, PhD, MSc, is Associate Professor, Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Granada, and Member, Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biosanitaria ibs.GRANADA, Granada, Spain."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apmr.2020.12.015"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_1","first-page":"7412410010","article-title":"Occupational therapy practice framework: Domain and process","volume":"74","author":"American Occupational Therapy Association","year":"2020","unstructured":"American Occupational Therapy Association.
