Brief Summary:
Cancer incidence which is recognized as the leading cause of death in children worldwide is gradually increasing
Most studies on children who survive cancer show that the disease and its treatment have side effects and long-term late effects on the musculoskeletal system physical function gait and cognitive skills
Therefore dual task gait performance in which cognitive and motor tasks are performed simultaneously may be affected in pediatric oncology patients The aim of this study is to compare gait performance in single and dual task conditions in pediatric oncology patients with healthy controls

Detailed Description:
Cancer incidence which is recognized as the leading cause of death in children worldwide is gradually increasing About 300000 children aged 0 to 19 are diagnosed with cancer each year according to the international study where the International Agency for Research on Cancer collected data on neoplasms malignant and non-malignant diagnosed in individuals under 20 years of age between 2001-2010
Most studies on children who survive cancer show that the disease and its treatment have side effects and long-term late effects on the musculoskeletal system physical function gait and cognitive skills According to the study of Beulertz et al 2016 active ankle dorsiflexion limitation gait disturbances and decrease in walking efficiency were observed in all pediatric oncology patients which have an important role in walking not limited to children with bone tumors and central nervous system tumorsIntensive chemotherapy eg methotrexate and the use of radiation are thought to cause damage to cortical and subcortical white matter resulting in late effects Symptoms consistent with attention deficit disorder and mental processing speed working memory executive function and memory deficits put cancer survivors at an intellectual and academic disadvantage
Therefore dual task gait performance in which cognitive and motor tasks are performed simultaneously may be affected in pediatric oncology patients The aim of this study is to compare gait performance in single and dual task conditions in pediatric oncology patients with healthy controls
