About this study
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of dual-task conditions on manual dexterity performance in typically developing young people and children between the ages of 7-18.
MATERIAL AND METHOD:
Read more
- Demographic information, dominant extremity will be noted and the evaluation will begin by applying the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children.
- The evaluations will primarily evaluate the child's performance on a single cognitive task
- The cognitive task will be the n-back task (counting down task) to be applied in accordance with the level of the child or adolescent.
- 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.
- 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.
As a result of this study, manual dexterity performance and cognitive performance in single-task conditions in typically developing children and adolescents will be revealed. Additionally, changes in this performance will be detected in dual-task situations.
Read the detailed description
In the literature, balance or walking postural tasks are mostly used in dual-task studies for typically developing children. 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 typically developing young people and children between the ages of 7-18. Although studies on this subject are limited in the world, a comprehensive study is needed on children and young people in our country.
MATERIAL AND METHOD:
- Demographic information, dominant extremity will be noted and the evaluation will begin by applying the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children.
- The evaluations will primarily evaluate the child's performance on a single cognitive task in a supported sitting position on a chair, without a motor task. 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.
As a result of this study, manual dexterity performance and cognitive performance in single-task conditions in typically developing children and adolescents will be revealed. Additionally, changes in this performance will be detected in dual-task situations.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
single cognitive task

Measured: 1minute
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
Participants will be asked to score the difficulty of the cognitive task and motor task as a number between 0 and 10. High score indicates difficulty of the activity. (0= simple task; 10= difficult task almost Icannot do.)
Measured: 1minute
9-Hole Peg Test.-Single task
In order to evaluate the single motor performance of manual skills, the 9-Hole PegTest will be applied.
Measured: 2minutes
9-Hole Peg Test and writing a given paragraph.-Dual task
In order to evaluate the dual task performance the 9-Hole PegTest will be applied with a count-back task.
Measured: 2 minutes
writing a given paragraph.-Single task
In order to evaluate the single motor performance of manual skills a paragraph will be written.
Measured: 3 minutes
writing a given paragraph.-Dual task
In order to evaluate the dual task performance the paragraph will be written with a count-back task.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
single cognitive task (time frame: 1minute). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06299267, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 May 2025.
