Brief Summary

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

This study is a single-blind, randomized controlled, prospective clinical trial. At least 62 older adults aged 65 and over were included in the study. Evaluations were made twice, before starting the study and after completion. Otago Exercise Program based on telerehabilitation was applied to the intervention group for a total of 21 sessions, 7 days a week for 3 weeks. The control group did not participate in any exercise program during the study period; however, it was reported that they could be included in the Otago Exercise Program at the end of the study.

Detailed Description

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

Sociodemographic data and information about falling were recorded. Edmonton Frail Scale, Modified Fall Efficiency Scale, Five-Dimensional European Quality of Life Scale-5D-3L, Timed Up and Go Test, Four-Step Balance Test and 30 sec Sit to StandTest were applied to all older adults. Evaluations were applied at the beginning and end of the study. A total of 21 sessions of Otago Exercise Program were applied to the intervention group, 30 minutes/session, 7 days/week for 3 weeks. A printed physical activity recommendation brochure prepared for the older adults by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey was distributed to both groups. The older adults in the control group did not participate in any exercise program during the study period.

Study Groups

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

Intervention Group

125 older adults aged 65 and over, who do not have any neurological, cognitive and communication problems that may affect the evaluations, and who volunteer to participate in the study and who are sedentary.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Telerehabilitation based on Otago Exercise Program

Intervention Type OTHER

It took a total of 21 sessions, 7 days a week for 3 weeks. The sessions lasted 30 minutes. It is recommended to do exercises with comfortable shoes at least 1 hour after a meal. Each of his exercises will be videotaped and numbered and delivered to the intervention group via social networks and the Internet or by memory. In each exercise session, the physiotherapist followed the exercise sessions through social networks and answered questions from the older adults.

Control Group

125 older adults not participating in any exercise program during the study, not having any neurological, cognitive and communication problems that may prevent completing the assessments.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
