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.

OTHER

Participants in the study were given group otago exercises for 4 weeks, face to face, once a week for 30 minutes. They were also given brochures containing otago exercises twice a week and followed up remotely. They were asked to walk normally for 30 minutes, 2 days a week. Then they entered a 4-week cleansing period.
