- Brief Summary
The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of group-based and dual-task focused otago exercises on kinesiophobia, musculoskeletal system and psychosocial status in geriatric individuals with kinesiophobia. In the study : 1. Do group-based and dual-task focused otago exercises have an effect on kinesiophobia in geriatric individuals with kinesiophobia? 2. Do group-based and dual-task focused otago exercises have an effect on the musculoskeletal system in geriatric individuals with kinesiophobia? 3. Do group-based and dual-task focused otago exercises have an effect on the psychosocial status of geriatric individuals with kinesiophobia? 4. Do group-based and dual-task focused otago exercises have an effect on cognitive function in geriatric individuals with kinesiophobia? The questions were answered.
- Detailed Description
Our study was conducted as a cross-controlled study on 20 geriatric individuals. The study lasted 12 weeks. The participants in the study were given group otago exercises for 4 weeks, face to face once a week for 30 minutes, and remotely monitored twice a week with handouts containing the exercises. They were asked to walk normally for 30 minutes on 2 days a week. Then, they entered a 4-week washout period. After the washout period, the participants in the study were given group otago exercises for 4 weeks, face to face for 30 minutes, and remotely monitored twice a week with handouts containing the exercises. They were asked to walk normally for 30 minutes on 2 days a week. Before starting the study, participants were given a demographic information form, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale for kinesiophobia, Berg Balance Scale for balance assessment, Short Form Geriatric Depression Scale for psychosocial status, 5-times sit-to-stand test to assess fall risk and lower extremity muscle strength, Timed Up and Go test to assess mobility, and Mini Mental State Test and Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test to assess cognitive function. These tests were repeated at the end of the first 4 sessions and the last 4 sessions, and pre- and post-test values were measured.
