简要总结
It is known that the treatment of children with cancer has negative effects on cognition, muscle strength, balance, and gait. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of dual-task training, which is based on the principle of simultaneous performance of cognitive tasks and motor tasks, on muscle strength, balance, and gait.
详细描述
With the increase in the incidence of cancer, the number of children who survived cancer is also increasing. Most studies on cancer survivors show that the disease and its treatment have side effects and long-term late effects on the musculoskeletal system, physical function, motor, and cognitive skills. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of dual-task training, which is based on the principle of simultaneous performance of cognitive tasks and motor tasks, on muscle strength, balance, and gait. This study is planned to be the first study in which dual-task training is applied in children with cancer.

结局指标
主要结局
gait speed
时间窗: 600 seconds
Gait speed is the time one takes to walk a specified distance on level surfaces over a short distance. It will be recorded in m/s.
balance
时间窗: 300 seconds
Balance is evaluated with Timed-up and Go Test. The time elapsed during the test is recorded in seconds.
Muscle strength
时间窗: 600 seconds
Isometric muscle strength will be evaluated with a hand-held dynamometer. It will be recorded in kg.
