Effects of Virtual Reality Program and Motor Imagery Training on Plantar Pressure, Balance Ability, Depression and Falls Eff

As a result of this study, the three periods and group interactions were statistically significant in all variables (p<.05). According to the period, the virtual reality program showed significant difference in both plantar pressure (p<.05), and there was no significant difference in motor imagery training only in left and right static plantar pressure (p>.05). The static balance ability was significantly different in both the virtual reality group and the motor imagery training group than before training in the body center movement area (p<.05). In addition, there was a significant difference in the sense of balance during opening and closing eyes in the virtual reality group (p<.05), but there was no significant difference in the image training group (p>.05). There were significant differences in TUG, depression, and fall efficacy in both groups (p<.05). In the post-test (6 weeks), there was a significant difference between the virtual reality group and the control group, the motor imagery training group and the control group (p<.05). TUG showed a significant difference between the virtual reality group and the control group in the post-test (6 weeks) (p<.05). There was a significant difference in depression between the virtual reality group and the control group, the motor imagery training group and the control group at the post-test (6 weeks) and follow-up (8 weeks) (p<.05).
