Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of Otago Exercise Program (OEP) on pain, walking speed, lower extremity muscle strength, fear of falling, anxiety, quality of life and balance with the telerehabilitation method in individuals with a history of falling, which is frequently seen in elderly individuals due to aging.

45 people between the ages of 65 and 78 participated in the study. They were randomly divided into 3 groups as control, telerehabilitation otago exercise program (TOEG) and face-to-face otago exercise program (FOEG). 45 minutes of OEP was applied 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Pain, walking speed, lower extremity muscle strength, fear of falling, anxiety, quality of life, and balance were evaluated before the Otago Exercise Program, at the 4th week, at the 8th week, and 4 weeks after the end of the exercise program. Significance was evaluated at the p\<0.05 level in the study.

Detailed Description

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

Those using a randomized controlled clinical trial model that includes assessment methods over four different time periods. Detailed information about the procedure to be applied was given to each participant who would participate in the study. After the information, mini mental state test was applied to the participants who signed the consent form. Gender, age, weight, height, number of falls in the last 1 year, body mass indexes were calculated and recorded, including demographic information of the participants who met the inclusion criteria. Participants were randomly divided into 3 groups. The groups are; telerehabilitation otago exercise program (TOEG) (n=15, 8 males, 7 females), face-to-face otago exercise program (FOEG) (n=15, 8 males, 7 females), Control Group (CG) (n=15) , 8 men, 7 women).
