a
Scores on the TOLA composite and subtests for the 48 patients with CBS compared with the standardized sample and healthy controls of the TOLA standardization sample.31 The standardization sample was composed of 145 patients with ideomotor apraxia, mostly from stroke. The healthy control sample was composed of 21 healthy volunteers.31 A higher score reflects more intact praxis.
b
The normative data do not allow the computation of a standard deviation on this derived measure for the healthy controls.
