Official title

The Effects of Lower Extremity Functional Exercise Program and Neuromuscular Electrical Nerve Stimulation on Muscle Strength, Muscle Thickness, Gait and Fall Risk in the Elderly

Overview

The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of lower extremity functional exercise program and neuromuscular electrical nerve stimulation on muscle thickness, muscle strength, gait and fall risk in the elderly.

Detailed description

Study Design: It will be a randomized, controlled study. The participants to be included in the study will be divided into two groups using the random randomization method. In this method; participants will be included in the study.
