Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

• Pain Assessment by McGill-Melzack Pain Questionnaire

  Assessment of pain by McGill-Melzack Pain Questionnaire: The localization (deep-D; superficial-S) of the pain was determined by a question in the first section of the questionnaire. Subsequently, the features (20 words and 2-6 sub words of each) and severity (mild to unbearable pain, Likert scale-5) of the pain were determined by questions in the second and third section of the questionnaire. In the fourth section, the relationship between pain, time, frequency, and the affecting factors was determined. Scores (total 0-112) obtained from the sections of the survey were collected. The pain level of the patients indicated that the higher the pain, the higher the score.

  Baseline

• Balance and gait assessment

  Balance and Gait Assessment: The total scores for balance and walking were 0-29 and 0-9, respectively. These scores aimed to reflect the fear of falling. There was no specific cutoff score. As the score increased, the fear of falling decreased.

  At the beginning of the interventions

• Quality of life assessment by WHOQOL-BREF

  The WHOQOL-short form consists of 26 questions and measures the physical, mental, social, and environmental well-being of the adult population. The Turkish version has 27 questions. The 27th is termed the Environment-Turkish. Each area refers to the quality of life in a respective field independently. The area scores are calculated between 1 and 100 by The World Health Organization Quality of Life-short form: The higher the score, the higher the quality of life.

  Baseline

• Muscle Power assessment by handheld dynamometer (MicroFet 2; kgm, Hoggan Scientific, Salt Lake City, UT, USA)

  The participants performed maximal isometric voluntary contractions (for lower extremity: M. quadriceps femoris, hamstring group muscles, M. tibialis anterior, M. gastrocnemius, and M. soleus; for upper extremity: M. triceps brachii, M. biceps brachii, and M. deltoideus: anterior, middle, and posterior heads) forcefully against the dynamometer. The dynamometer was held stationary by the physical therapist.

• Balance and gait assessment by TBGA

  Tinetti Balance and Gait Assessment: The total scores for balance and walking were 0-29 and 0-9, respectively. These scores aimed to reflect the fear of falling. There was no specific cutoff score. As the score increased, the fear of falling decreased.
