Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of dual task conditions on manual dexterity performance in young people and children with CP between the ages of 7-18 and to compare it with their peers.

Evaluations to be made in the study (children with CP) and control (typically developing peers) groups:

* Demographic information, Gross Motor Function Level (GMFCS), Manual Skills Classification System (MACS) and dominant extremity will be noted and the evaluation will begin by applying the Abilhand Kids questionnaire.
* Firstly, the child's performance on a single cognitive task will be evaluated in a supported sitting position on a chair. The cognitive task will be the n-back task (counting down task) to be applied in accordance with the level of the child or young person.
* Using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), participants will be asked to score the difficulty of the cognitive task as a number between 0 and 10.
* In order to evaluate the single motor performance of manual skills, the 9-Hole Test will be applied and the times will be recorded by asking to write a given paragraph.
* Dual task evaluations will be administered by giving a simultaneous cognitive task while administering the 9-Hole Test and writing a paragraph.
* In order to reveal the dual-task cost (DTC), dual-task performance will be subtracted from single-task performance and the difference will be calculated in seconds.
* The Body Control Measurement Scale will be applied for body evaluation purposes.

As a result of this study, the changes in manual dexterity and cognitive performance in dual-task conditions in children and adolescents with CP will be revealed. Additionally, changes in this performance in dual-task situations will be compared with a control group of typically developing children.
