Cranial injury (head injury): A head injury is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of lesions to the scalp, skull, brain, underlying tissue, and blood vessels in the head. Head injuries are sometimes known as brain injuries or traumatic brain injuries (TBI), depending on the severity of the head trauma.

Cerebrovascular disease: Cerebrovascular disease is a collection of disorders that alter blood flow and brain blood arteries. Blood vessel constriction (stenosis), clot formation (thrombosis), artery blockage (embolism), or blood vessel rupture can all cause problems with blood flow (haemorrhage).

Apraxia: Apraxia is defined as the failure to perform a taught motor act in the absence of a motor, sensory, or cerebellar deficit on command processed by the Praxis circuit.
