NCT06529133
An individual's postural control is often accompanied by other tasks in daily life, such as cognitive tasks. Cognitive dual task (cognitive dual task) is the ability to perform two or more cognitive and motor activities simultaneously. There are studies in the literature that address the postural control of different patient populations and healthy individuals while performing a cognitive task. To our knowledge, there is no study evaluating the postural control skills of children with epilepsy during a cognitive dual task using dynamic posturography (Biodex). In this respect, it is possible to say that our study constitutes the first study that can contribute to the literature on this subject.

NCT04477408
The most important cause of mortality and morbidity with the geriatric population is loss of balance and the consequent falls, which is seen very often. The goal of our study is to examine the effects of plantar sensation education-based exercises on balance and falls.Materials and methods: 16 healthy, voluntary nursing home residents with the average age 77.50±5.5. Individuals had plantar sensory exercises 40 min sessions for 3 days/week during eight weeks. The study was planned as a self-controlled prospective study. Functional balance was evaluated using Berg Balance Scale, dynamic balance was evaluated using 30 Second Chair Stand Test, static balance and fall risk were assessed using Biodex Balance System.
NCT06291792
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of Otago Exercise Program (OEP) on pain, walking speed, lower extremity muscle strength, fear of falling, anxiety, quality of life and balance with the telerehabilitation method in individuals with a history of falling, which is frequently seen in elderly individuals due to aging. 45 people between the ages of 65 and 78 participated in the study. They were randomly divided into 3 groups as control, telerehabilitation otago exercise program (TOEG) and face-to-face otago exercise program (FOEG). 45 minutes of OEP was applied 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Pain, walking speed, lower extremity muscle strength, fear of falling, anxiety, quality of life, and balance were evaluated before the Otago Exercise Program, at the 4th week, at the 8th week, and 4 weeks after the end of the exercise program. Significance was evaluated at the p\<0.05 level in the study.
NCT06006533
The aim of this study; The aim of this study is to examine the effects of kinesio taping technique and percussive massage technique applied to plantar flexor muscles on proprioception, balance and flexibility in healthy individuals.
NCT05344755
Hallux valgus is a forefoot deformity with a high prevalence, which can progress to lateral deviation of the big toe, medial deviation of the first metatarsal, and subluxation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint in the future. It has been reported in studies that changes in the load distribution of the foot in hallux valgus patients, hyperkeratosis, especially first-line pain, and sensory receptors on the sole of the foot may result in the effect of sensory receptors on the sole of the foot, and thus the balance may be negatively affected, poor postural stability and an increase in the risk of falling. It is thought that increased sensitivity to the senses coming from the feet with sensory training can improve the balance and reduce the risk of falling as a result of better perception of foot orientation and position.

Video game-based training programs, in the following referred to as "exergames" are an innovative digital training approach to simultaneously train physical and cognitive functions and increase training motivation for various populations. Patients who are differently limited in their physical and cognitive performance due to a decline in functioning can profit from a motivating and combined physical-cognitive training approach. An interdisciplinary team of movement scientists, sports and training experts, as well as game and industrial designers developed an innovative and immersive video game-based training product for patients - the ExerCube training software licence. The exergame development focused on a user-centred process together with the target population. The ExerCube training software licence is an exergame training product that includes immersive mixed-reality training programs (or video games) for patients. Depending on the patient's training requirements, the therapists can choose from the training program repertoire. The patients control the training program (or video game) by specific (whole) body movements. To present the virtual training programs from the ExerCube training software licence in the physical environment, the ExerCube hardware and harness system is used to serve as a physical training room. It allows the virtual video game environment to be presented in the physical world. This summative usability study aims to assess the training system's safety, usability and validate the user experience. Primary end-users (defined as patients aged 18 and above) and secondary end-users (defined as sports scientists, training therapists or physiotherapists/occupational therapists with a focus on sports/training therapy) will test and review the system in different testing scenarios.

The 4 main motor symptoms seen in Parkinson's patients are tremor, rigidity, postural instability and bradykinesia. In addition to these, another common symptom investigators encounter is balance problems. Increasing balance problems can lead to falls and fractures over time, which will further reduce the independence of Parkinson's patients who are not already active enough and reduce their quality of life. For these reasons, it is very important that balance is achieved and sustainable. It has been found in previous studies that spinal posture and body position sensation are affected in Parkinson's patients. But to our knowledge, no study has been found in the literature to address the effect these have had on balance function. In our planned study, investigators aim to investigate the effects of spinal posture and body position sensation on balance function.

NCT04004026
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that causes different levels of disability with motor and sensory loss. Although the signs and symptoms of the disease vary according to the location of the lesion; loss of strength, spasticity, sensory disturbances, fatigue, ataxia, autonomic dysfunction and decreased visual acuity are frequently seen. One of the most important causes of loss of function is balance problems. Balance problems, on the other hand, result in falls that cause severe injuries. One of the most important goals in the rehabilitation of individuals with MS is to increase their performance by minimizing the risk of falling in their daily lives. For medical professionals, many medical history questionnaires, self-assessment measures and performance-based tests have been developed to determine the risk of falls. Performance-based functional assessments consist of a timed walk and walk test, functional skill, balance and fall risk, 5 times sit-and-go test and Berg Balance Test, 4 square step test and gait speed measurement tests. These tests include the ability to walk forward and revolve around ones priorities. However, walking is a more difficult activity as it involves neuromuscular control and is dependent on proprioception and protective reflexes. In daily life activities, there is a need to walk backwards to perform tasks such as leaning against a chair and opening the door. This movement can be quite challenging especially for elderly people with neurological deficits. It has been noted that the mechanical measurements of the back support, in particular the speed, the step length, and the double support surface are significantly reduced in older adults. In a study conducted in geriatric individuals, it was shown that walking backward was more sensitive to detect age-related changes in mobility and balance than walking forward. The aim of this study is to determine the validity and reliability of the 3-meter backwards walk test for evaluating performance-based fall risk in individuals with MS.
