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

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.).
