Brief 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 childs 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
Detailed Description: In the literature balance or walking postural tasks are mostly used in dual-task studies for children and young people with Cerebral Palsy CP However dual task tasks performed during manual skills in daily life have not been adequately researched 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 Although studies on this subject in the world are limited

MATERIAL AND METHOD

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

Abilhand Kids is a questionnaire that evaluates childrens upper extremities bimanually has proven validity and reliability and includes 21 questions for families about the common tasks their children undertake in daily life activities

Firstly the childs 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

The scale consists of 15 items in total subscales 5 7 and 3 items respectively Items are scored on an ordinal scale of 2 3 and 4 points Although the total score of the scale varies between 0-58 points higher scores indicate better performance The Turkish validity and reliability of the survey was conducted

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
