The Effects of Telerehabilitation And Chair-based Yoga In The Elderly

The Effects of Chair-Based Yoga With Telerehabilitation on Function and Quality of Life in Elderly Individuals

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of chair-based yoga with rehabilitation on quality of life is affected in elderly people. Depending on the changes in the body as a result of aging, people's quality of life is affected. In order to increase or protect the quality of life in elderly people, telerehabilitation practices are emphasized. Telerehabilitation is a promising system for the elderly thanks to its advantages.

As a practice, chair-based yoga, a modified form of yoga, was preferred. Chair-based yoga makes yoga more doable and safe for older people. Chair-based yoga with telerehabilitation was performed with the participants. Pain level, sleep status, functional capacity, quality of life, mental health and depression were followed by evaluations at the beginning and end of the process.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Senior Fitness Test (SFT)	It is another test protocol in which the physical fitness of elderly people is evaluated with a few test parameters. SFT Test Protocol; It consisted of 6 stations including chair sit-stand, weight lifting, chair sit-down, 2-minute stepping, 8-step up-go and back scratching tests.	6 weeks
Nottingham Health Profile (NHP)	It is a general patient-reported outcome measure intended to measure subjective health status. It is a questionnaire designed to measure a patient's views on his or her health status in various fields. It can be completed in 5 minutes. NHP consists of two parts.	6 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Charlson Comorbidity Index	Scaling that can be applied by quantifying comorbidities and examining their effects on prognosis in clinical trials, with the informant or by obtaining information from medical records. 19 disease states are evaluated.	6 weeks
Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living	Scaling with the informant to assess the physical adequacy of geriatric subjects and their independence in basic activities of daily living. 10 activities of daily living are evaluated. The Bartel index (BI) is a widely used scale in functional disability.	6 weeks
Mini Mental State Assessment	Screening test in which cognitive functions are evaluated globally. With the standardized mini mental test, the patient is evaluated under 5 main headings.	6 weeks
Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale	Scaling applied to evaluate geriatric cases in terms of depressive mood. General mood characteristics such as attentional state, decision-making process, and perspective on the future are questioned.	6 weeks
Tinetti Balance and Gait Test	It is a scaling applied in the presence of an observer in order to evaluate the walking and balance abilities of the person. It consists of 16 questions. TDYD evaluates balance ability and gait under 2 main headings.	6 weeks
Clinical Frailty Scale	It is a scaling that can be done with the case itself or the caregiver in order to evaluate the cases in terms of fragility with clinical findings. It consists of 9 questions.	6 weeks
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality	It is a scale that evaluates sleep quality with a total of 19 questions under 7 main headings. The 18 scored questions of the scale consist of 7 components. Subjective Sleep Quality, Sleep Latency, Sleep Duration, Habitual Sleep Efficiency, Sleep Disorder, Sleeping Drug Use, and Daytime Dysfunction. Each component is evaluated over 0-3 points.	6 weeks
Mc Gill Pain Questionnaire	It consists of four parts. In the first part, the patient is asked to mark the location of the pain on the body chart. Part Two: In this part, there are 20 sets of words that examine pain in terms of sensory, perceptual and evaluation. The patient is told to choose the word set that fits his pain and to mark the word that fits his pain in the chosen set. In the third part, the relationship of pain with time takes place. There are word groups to determine the continuity of pain, its frequency, and factors that increase/reduce pain. In the fourth part, five word groups ranging from "mild" pain to "unbearable" pain to determine the severity of pain; In addition, six questions were included to determine the severity of pain that the patient can accept or experience without discomfort, which is also defined as "experienceable=target pain".	6 weeks
