Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
INDIVIDUALS WITH ALZHEIMER	balance tests,questionnaire	balance and gait will be evaluated survey questions will be asked
HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS	balance tests,questionnaire	balance and gait will be evaluated survey questions will be asked

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Age	5 month	between the ages of 50 and 80
Body Mass Index	5 month	BMI was recorded in kg/m\^2

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Tampa Scale	5 month	17 questions is a scale. The scale is used in work-related activities, injury/re-injury and fear-avoidance contains the parameters.
The Time Up Go Test	5 month	The timed "Up \& Go" measures, in seconds, the time taken by an individual to stand up from a standard arm chair (approximate seat height of 46 cm), walk a distance of 3 meters, turn, walk back to the chair, and sit down again.
Mini Mental State Test	5 month	It was used to determine the cognitive state before the training. The Mini-Mental State Test was first published by Folstein et al. It consists of eleven items under 5 main headings: orientation, record memory, attention and calculation, recall and language, and the total score is evaluated over 30 points.
The Gait Speed Measurement Test (GSMT)	5 month	For GSMT, individuals were asked to walk at a speed they wanted on a flat surface of 14 m. Signs were placed on the 2nd and 12th meters of the test area to minimize the speed changes between walking start and walking finish, and to make a more objective measurement. The walking time at this 10-meter distance was measured with the stopwatch and the results were recorded in sec and the walking speed was determined.
The Tinetti Gait and Balance Test (TGBT)	5 month	TGBT consists of balance and gait subheadings. For balance, there are 13 items, and 9 items for gait. Items are scored as 0 (abnormal), 1 (adaptive) and 2 (normal) for balance, 0 (abnormal), 1 (normal) for gait. The maximum balance score of the patient is 26 and the maximum gait score is 9. Total score (balance + walking) is 35 points.
Fall Risk Self-Assessment Scale	5 month	It consists of 13 items assessing the risk of falling in the elderly. The answers are yes (1 point) and no (0 points), and individuals who get 4 points or more from the scoring are classified as having a high risk of falling.
