In the study, an individual-specific rehabilitation programme consisting of diagnosis, planning and intervention stages was created for the patients included in the intervention group.

In addition to routine rehabilitation services, the activities of daily living mobile application programme was applied to the intervention group in the form of face-to-face individual interviews, group training, use of RhMoGYA application by the patients for three months, and planning and follow-up of activities for the use of patients by the researcher.

The interviews were planned within the scope of the Roper Activities of Daily Living Model for the development and follow-up of patients' activities of daily living.
