Beschreibung
Inclusion Criteria:
- Being 65 years of age or older
- Being able to perform walking functions
- Having sufficient mobility to perform the physical performance tests included in the research, such as 5 sit-stand tests, TUG (Trip and Go) tests, and stair climbing/descending tests. • Having a walking speed of at least 0.4 m/s or more as a result of the 4 Meter Walking Test (having limited or independent mobility within the community).
- Voluntarily agreeing to participate in the study and providing informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Having a history of advanced cognitive impairment or diagnosed dementia that would impair the ability to understand and follow test instructions.
- Those diagnosed with moderate or severe cognitive impairment (MMSE < 24 and/or MoCA < 21)
- Having a walking speed below 0.4 m/s on the 4-Meter Walk Test (individuals who are wheelchair-bound or bedridden).
- Advanced Parkinson's disease, active stroke sequelae, lower extremity fracture within the last 6 months, or a history of acute orthopedic surgery that primarily affects motor performance and balance.
- Those with severe hearing or vision loss
- Individuals experiencing significant difficulty communicating
- Participants who did not sign the voluntary consent form

Geriartric Indivıduals
Geriatric individuals aged 65 and over who meet the inclusion criteria for the study.
|
Assessments will be conducted after obtaining voluntary consent from the participants.
The physical performance tests to be applied within the scope of the research will be carried out by the research team within the framework of internationally accepted standard protocols whose validity and reliability have been proven in the geriatric population.

4-Meter Walk Test (Walking Speed Measurement)
Zeitfenster: 1 week
|
Walking speed will be assessed using the 4-Meter Walk Test, a key indicator of functional mobility in geriatric individuals.
Participants will be asked to walk a 4-meter test area in the center at their "natural and comfortable walking speed," using 1-meter "acceleration" zones at the beginning and 1-meter "deceleration" zones at the end of a 6-meter flat course.
The measurement will be recorded with a stopwatch the moment the participant's foot crosses the 4-meter marked area, and the result will be calculated in m/s (Studenski et al., 2011).

Zeitfenster |
|---|---|---|
|
Time Sit-Stand Test (5STS):
Zeitfenster: 1 week
|
To assess lower extremity muscle strength and balance, participants will be asked to stand up and sit down as quickly as possible, five times consecutively, from a standard chair 43-45 cm high, with their arms crossed over their chest.
The timer will start with the "start" command and end when the fifth sitting is completed (Bohannon, 2006).
|
1 week
|
|
Timed Up and Go (TUG):
Zeitfenster: 1 week
|
To measure functional mobility, the participant will get up from the chair, walk a distance of 3 meters, return, and sit back down in the chair.
This time will be recorded in seconds using a stopwatch (Podsiadlo & Richardson, 1991).
|
1 week
|
|
Functional Reach Test (FUT/FRT)
Zeitfenster: 1 week
|
To measure static balance and stability limits, the maximum distance the participant can reach without losing balance and without taking a step, while standing next to a wall with the shoulder flexed at 90 degrees, will be measured (Duncan et al., 1990).
|
1 week
|
|
Single Leg Balance Test (Right and Left):
Zeitfenster: 1 week
|
Participants' static balance will be determined by recording the "time they can stand on one leg" (maximum 60 seconds) with their eyes open and hands on their hips, on both their dominant and non-dominant legs (Springer et al., 2007).
|
1 week
|
|
Flexibility (Sit-and-Reach Test):
Zeitfenster: 1 week
|
To measure hamstring and lower back flexibility, the participant will sit in a long, straight position, reaching forward without bending their knees.
The distance reached by their fingertips will be recorded on a "sit-and-reach bench" (Wells & Dillon, 1952).
|
1 week
|
|
Stair Climbing Test
Zeitfenster: 1 week
|
To assess high-level mobility, participants will be recorded in seconds for safely and as quickly as possible ascending and descending a staircase of standard step height [a specified number of steps, e.g., 10 steps] (Nightingale et al., 2003).
|
1 week
|
|
Strength Measurement (Hand Grip Strength):
Zeitfenster: 1 week
|
Upper extremity muscle strength will be measured using a digital hand dynamometer according to the ASHT (American Society of Hand Therapists) protocol.
Participants will be asked to grip with maximum force while sitting upright, with shoulder adduction and elbow 90 degrees flexed.
Three repetitions will be performed for each hand, and the average of these measurements in kilograms (kg) will be included in the analysis (Roberts et al., 2011; Cruz-Jentoft et al., 2019).
