Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Aging is defined as a functional change in the organism which is not reversible with time progression. With this change in the organism, physical and cognitive functions are decreasing, and the potential of the individual to establish a balance between the systems decreased. For this reason, the aim of this is to investigate the effects of different home exercise programs on cognitive function, balance and daily living activities in healthy individuals.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

40 healthy individuals between the ages of 60-80 who agreed to participate in the study will be included in the study. Participants will be divided into 2 groups randomly. Both groups will be given balance exercises with aerobic exercise. The second group will be given second additional cognitive task besides doing usual exercises that the first group is performing. Exercises will be given in the form of a home exercise program and the treatment will last for 6 weeks. The continuity of the exercises will be controlled by telerehabilitation method. The participants will be evaluated before and after the treatment.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1

The first group will be prescribed aerobic exercise and balance exercises as home exercise. Participants in this group will perform 30 min moderate walking exercises and balance exercises. Balance exercises shall consist of feet static stops for 30 second , one leg stance for 30 second, standing at tandem position for 30 second and uplift exercises at the fingertips for 30 second. Exercises will be held once a day for 3 days per week over 6 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type OTHER

The first group will be prescribed aerobic exercise and balance exercises as home exercise. Participants in this group will perform 30 min moderate walking exercises and balance exercises. Balance exercises shall consist of feet static stops for 30 second , one leg stance for 30 second, standing at tandem position for 30 second and uplift exercises at the fingertips for 30 second. Exercises will be held once a day for 3 days per week over 6 weeks.Exercise will be held once a day for 3 days per week over six weeks. Participants will be called by the researcher on the days of the exercise and the participant's compliance with the exercise program will be checked.

Group 2

The second group will be prescribed cognitive tasks combined with aerobic exercise and balance exercises as home exercises. Participants in this group will have 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise and cognitive tasks combined with balance exercises. Participants will be asked to count backwards from 20 during the walk and then count back the days of the week back and repeat it for 30 minutes. Balance exercises shall consist of feet static stops for 30 second , one leg stance for 30 second, standing at tandem position for 30 second and uplift exercises at the fingertips for 30 second. Patients will be asked to count backwards from 20 to count the days of the week backwards during balance exercises. Exercises will be held once a day for 3 days per week over six weeks. Participants will be called by the researcher on the days of the exercise and the participant's compliance with the exercise program will be checked.
