About this study
Official title: The Relationship Between Frailty, Dual-Task Performance, and Activities of Daily Living in Older Adults
This study aims to examine the relationship between dual task performance, frailty level, and activities of daily living in older adults.
- Conditions
- Older Adults (60 - 85 Years Old)
- Being tested
- Dual Task
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Dual TaskOther
The Dual Task Questionnaire will be used to obtain information about the difficulties individuals experience when performing tasks that require dual tasks in situations they encounter in daily life. The dual-task questionnaire consists of 10 questions. The questions will be read to the subjects in order, and there will be no time limit for them to answer. If geriatric individuals do not understand a question, the necessary explanations will be provided and the question will be repeated. Each question is scored as very often (4), often (3), occasionally (2), rarely (1), and never (0). The answers to all questions are added up, the total score is calculated, and divided by 10. Lower scores indicate better dual task performance.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Frailty
Edmonton Frailty Scale: The scale was developed to measure frailty in older adults and is suitable for routine use by healthcare professionals without specialized training in geriatrics or gerontology. The scale assesses a total of 17 points under 11 headings, including cognitive status, general health, dependency, social support, medication use, nutrition, mood, continence, and functional performance. Fragility increases as the score rises
Measured: Baseline
Daily Living Activities
The Katz Activities of Daily Living Index is the best known measure in clinical practice and the most widely used measure in clinical research. This scale, which will be used to assess participants' level of independence in basic ADLs, includes 6 basic activities: bathing, dressing, toileting, transfers, continence, and eating. Each activity is rated as independent (1 point) or dependent (0 points). The total score ranges from 0 to 6. Higher scores mean greater independence.
Measured: Baseline
Dual Task Performance (Motor-Cognitive)
Motor-Cognitive performance will be assessed using the Timed Up and Go test and motor-motor performance by carrying a tray with water-filled cups while walking.

Dual Task Performance (Motor-Motor)
