Summary

This study looked at 60 children aged 7-18, half with myelomeningocele (a type of spina bifida) and half without, to see how well they could perform hand tasks while also doing a second activity like tapping or counting. The goal was to understand differences in dual-task performance, not to test a treatment. Results may help guide future therapies.
