A case of tool use disturbance without impairment of motor skills and of conceptual knowledge of how tool must be used is reported. The patient could not manipulate objects isolatedly or in succession but could pantomime their use on command and on imitation. This finding suggests that manipulation of objects may dissociate from pantomime without objects. We interpret this syndrome as a results of mismatch of tool and tool use.
报告了一例工具使用障碍患者，其运动技能及关于工具使用方式的概念性知识均未受损。该患者无法单独或连续操作物体，但能根据指令和模仿进行物体使用的手势表演。这一发现表明，物体操作可能与无物体时的手势表演相分离。我们将此综合征解释为工具与工具使用不匹配的结果。
