Brief Summary:
An individuals 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
Detailed Description:
Epilepsy is often characterized by seizures but may also include additional neurological signs and symptoms that affect the prognosis of the disease These clinical findings include hypotonia athetosis ataxia inadequate visual-motor functioning gait abnormalities balance disorders and learning disabilities In the literature it has been reported that individuals with epilepsy who use antiepileptic drugs have more balance problems than those who do not It is also reported that people with epilepsy exercise less than the general population and have a lower level of functionality compared to their peers It has also been reported that there is a relationship between age at onset of epilepsy and motor problems
Executive functions include cognitive processes that support complex goal-directed behavior especially in novel situations or situations that require conscious effort In children diagnosed with epilepsy visuospatial skills are frequently affected within the scope of executive function
Postural control mechanism is a complex neural function consisting of the integrated function of sensory input motor output and modulation by cerebellar and cognitive influences Lack of coordination and postural instability motor limitations in patients with epilepsy and disabilities due to seizures are complaints due to side effects of antiepileptics Inadequate postural control which involves the orientation of the body for stabilization in space or task-oriented orientation in harmony with the environment limits the individuals ability to adapt to the environment or unexpected situations

15 children who are followed up with a diagnosis of epilepsy at Istanbul Faculty of Medicine Child Neurology Polyclinic and who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study as the study group and 15 healthy children in the same age group will be included in the study as the control group Informed consent will be obtained from each child and parent and the study will be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki
Evaluations and testing of all cases will be carried out in Bezmialem Vakıf University Faculty of Health Sciences Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Pediatric and Cardiac Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Training and Research Laboratories
After the demographic information of all children to be included in the study is recorded they will be informed about the tests to be applied during the cognitive dual task
Childrens postural control abilities will be evaluated with the Biodex Balance System SD BBS Biodex Medical Systems Shirley NY USA With BBS Postural stability stability limits and modified sensory integration test mCTSIB tests will be performed Half an hour later the same tests will be repeated during the cognitive dual task Cognitive tasks counting days-months-seasons rhythmic forward and backward counting counting by 2s 3s 5s 10s etc counting words related to the specified letter such as animal names starting with the letter A city names Each test will be performed 3 times for 20 seconds
