Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to comparatively evaluate the parameters of balance, cognitive skills, hand grip strength, reaction time, quality of life and respiratory functions in elderly and healthy peers individuals.
Detailed Description
Deterioration of airway patency, respiratory functions, experiencing shortness of breath that limits functional capacity, impairments in health-related quality of life, balance, cognitive skills, hand grip strength and reaction time parameters make physiotherapy approaches important in the treatment of bronchiectasis.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Wii Fit Balance Board
Time Frame: The assessment will be administered only once to each participant. All tests will be performed on the same day and will take approximately 30 minutes.
The use of force platform technologies to assess standing balance is common in a variety of clinical areas. Force platforms can provide detailed quantitative information about underlying movement deficits or postural control mechanisms and responses to sensory manipulations. Force platforms are now considered the gold standard in clinical practice. A reliable and valid study in which the Wii Fit Balance Board can be used as a tool to assess balance was conducted by Clark et al. (2018) In the balance test with Nintendo Wii Balance Board; The participant is asked to complete the 'Basic Balance Test' with their eyes open, within 30 seconds, in 5 stages, with gradually increasing difficulty, using weight transfer to the right and left. The maximum total score that can be obtained from the test is determined as 30.
