|---|---|
| Disability rates and consequences of knee osteoarthritis. Timepoint: Twelve weeks, an initial visit will be made with the intervention group, telephone calls will be made in the first week and then monthly throughout the intervention period. Method of measurement: For this purpose, an initial visit will be conducted with the intervention group, in which the participants' functional capacity status and risk of falling will be determined by performing the relevant tests specified in the VIVIFRAIL exercise program. Different functional capacity levels will be determined based on the scores obtained from the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) or the 6-meter walk speed test (WS). To assess the risk of falling, 4 items will be assessed, including a history of 2 or more falls in the past year, decreased performance in the TUG test (20 seconds or more) and the 6-meter walk speed test (more than 7.5 seconds), and cognitive impairment. Demographic information form, Multidimensional Disability Inventory (CFAI-PLUS) and the Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CIMA) questionnaire will be used. | — |
