Summary

An individual's postural control is often accompanied by other tasks in daily life, such as cognitive tasks. Cognitive dual task (cognitive dual task) is the ability to perform two or more cognitive and motor activities simultaneously. There are studies in the literature that address the postural control of different patient populations and healthy individuals while performing a cognitive task. To our knowledge, there is no study evaluating the postural control skills of children with epilepsy during a cognitive dual task using dynamic posturography (Biodex). In this respect, it is possible to say that our study constitutes the first study that can contribute to the literature on this subject.

Evaluation of postural control

Postural stability, limits of stability, and modified clinical test of sensory interaction in balance tests will be performed with Biodex Balance System (BBS). 1) Postural Stability: The test will be performed on a stable platform and mean, anterior/posterior and medial/lateral stability indices will be calculated. 2) Limits of Stability: The test will be performed on a static platform and directional control will be evaluated and expressed as a percentage value. 3) Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction in Balance: The test will be performed with a static platform setting on a flat surface with eyes open and eyes closed, on a foam floor with eyes open and eyes closed. Half an hour later, the same tests will be repeated during the cognitive dual task. The cognitive tasks given were counting day-month-season, rhythmic forward and backward counting (counting by 2, 3, 5, 10, etc.), counting words related to a given letter (animal names starting with the letter A, city names, etc.).
