Brief Summary

When the literature is examined, it has not been found that the use of massage applications in relation to the functional level of individuals who have undergone abdominal surgery. We think that our study will be the first in this field. Therefore, this study will lay the groundwork for future studies on the subject. In the future, it is aimed to establish a standardized evaluation method to determine the functional levels of individuals who have undergone abdominal surgery and to determine the ideal duration and frequency when a decision is made to apply foot massage in the future with the data obtained as a result of this method. In this study, the effectiveness of foot massage on the functional level of individuals with high post-surgical kinesiophobia will be investigated.
