The Effect of Dual Task on Postural Control in Children Diagnosed with Epilepsy

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.
