Abstract
The concurrent validity of the Kaufman Hand Movement Test as a measure of limb apraxia was investigated. For 23 adult aphasic subjects, a Pe arson r of 0.84 was obtained between scores on this test and on the Li mb Apraxia Test, a battery of tasks often used in the assessment of li mb apraxia. The Kaufman test is a shorter and simpler test to administ er than the Limb Apraxia Test. The concurrent validity of the Kaufman test encourages it use in the assessment of limb apraxia.
