eupraxia
I am not too sure about the plural, eupraxias does not seem to get any Googles. But here are some references:
Hexal dictionary
Praxie: eupraxia; normopraxia
Onelook dictionary
eupraxia: Normal ability to perform coordinated movements

: "eupraxia" means "Eupraxie" in German and not "Praxien" (plural of Praxis)!

: Sorry, but this has nothing to do with Praxis, but rather with -praxie ... (s. Christine's or Pieter's suggestions). And the Duden entry doesn't cover the medical/neurological term.

Praxias
I think, with Christine, that what is meant here is the neutral from of Apraxia or Dyspraxia. According to the dictionary, "-praxia" is mostly used in English as a suffix. There are, however, researchers using the word "praxias" as a full (plural) noun -
a few references below, but there are many

motor skills
apraxias and dyspraxias are impairments of motor functions

Language and motor skills/functions are cognitive functions
e.g. in Alzheimer's disease:
Alzheimer's Disease -
Originally described by Alois Alzheimer in 1907, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has... loss of specific cognitive functions such as language and motor skills, ...

There is another word, praxis, which means motor planning.
Praxis is the ability to perform complex voluntary motor tasks at the level expected for one's age, ability and training. (Note that I say MOTOR tasks. Not input processing, but motor output. Note that I say VOLUNTARY, not automatic.) Praxis requires that the brain be able to integrate the production of the motor activity. Recalled sensory patterns and sensory feedback are essential to the performance of motor tasks. *Apraxia* is an *inability* to do the voluntary complex motor task; *Dyspraxia* is *difficulty* performing the task.

If you google "eupraxia" + "neurology", there are only 115 hits, and only one medical article with Italian authors comes up.

: even post-grading: I like your suggestion, too, however also the search for "praxien neurologie" --> 9 German texts ... so also praxias would do / would have done IMO :-)
