Brief Summary

In recent years, it has been emphasized that preventive approaches are a less costly and more effective way to treat a pathology. Primary preventive approaches should become widespread, especially in problems with changeable risk factors such as spine health. Various preventive approaches and exercise training seem to be an effective way to prevent the development of back and neck pain. Again, in recent years, the pandemic process has increased the interest and need for tele-rehabilitation. As a result, scientific research results on tele-rehabilitation are needed as a necessity to adapt to the Covid-19 epidemic and the globalizing world. The aim of the thesis study planned in this context is to investigate the effectiveness of remote exercise applications on lumbar and cervical region muscle architecture and functionality in asymptomatic individuals.Another aim of this study is to investigate the remote applicability of functional level, quality of life, kinesophobia and cognitive assessment.

Spinal stabilization exercise

Remotely assessment Group-Face to Face Assessment Group

First, a remote evaluation and then a face to face evaluation will be made.

Group Type: OTHER

Remotely and face to face evaluation of Functional Capacity Level

Intervention Type: OTHER

Quality of life assessment (SF-36), and cognitive assessment ((Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MOCA)) will be administered face to face. Functional capacity assessment tests will be administered both face-to-face and remotely. All participants will be administered both remotely and face-to-face. The order of the remote and face-to-face evaluations will be determined by the closed envelope randomization method. The remote evaluation will be done by video interview method under the direction of the researcher. During the remote evaluation, the necessary equipment for the participant will be prepared in the unit in advance. There will be a 10-30 minute rest interval between each evaluation.This application will only be applied at the beginning of the exercise program.After the 8-week program, only face-to-face evaluation will be made.
