|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Sociodemographic Information Form | a day before the rehabilitation | The sociodemographic information of the healthy individuals included in the study will be obtained first with the form prepared by us. Questionnaire; It will contain information about the individual's age, gender, weight, height, educational status, occupation, socioeconomic status, employment status, marital status, drug use, psychological disorders and chronic diseases of the individual. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Primary | Motion Imagery Questionnaire-3 | a day before the rehabilitation | The Motion Imagination Questionnaire-3, The Motion Imagination Questionnaire, and the Motion Imagination Questionnaire- Revised, 2nd Edition is the most current version. In the questionnaire consisting of 12 items, external, internal and kinesthetic visualization abilities are evaluated separately. The Turkish validity and reliability of the questionnaire was determined by Dilek et al. made by It consists of 3 subscales and a total of 12 items evaluating external visual imagery, internal visual imagery and kinesthetic imagery. Each of the 12 tasks in the questionnaire will be performed physically first, then the participant will return to the starting position and imagery will be performed according to the desired imagery type. The scoring will be between 1 and 7, with 1 point: very difficult to see/feel, 7 points: very easy to see/feel. | ClinicalTrials.gov |

The scoring will be between 1 and 7, with 1 point: very difficult to see/feel, 7 points: very easy to see/feel. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Primary | Box and Block Test (Mental Stopwatch Measurement) | a day before the rehabilitation | Box and Block Test is a test developed to measure rough manual dexterity. The equipment used in the study was divided into two 25.4 cm sections with a 15.2 cm high divider in accordance with the adult norms previously determined in the literature. In the study, unlike the original procedure of the test, it is not the number of blocks collected in a limited time; The time required to collect 15 blocks will be recorded. The purpose of this change; In this study, it is aimed to evaluate mental chronometry ability rather than manual skill. Individuals will first be asked to physically move 15 blocks to the other section, and the elapsed time will be recorded. The application will be made with the dominant party. After the materials are removed from the field of view of the individuals, they will be asked to perform this transport activity with the imaging method and to report when they place each block during imaging and the elapsed time will be recorded . | ClinicalTrials.gov |

| Primary | Stroop Test | a day before the rehabilitation | It is a test that evaluates frontal lobe functions and cognitive processes such as attention, information processing, and resistance to interference. In the application consisted of 5 sections. The times obtained by the participants in each section will be noted in the section on the registration form. For incorrect responses by the participants, a slash (/) will be drawn over the relevant letter in the registration form; When participants correct their mistakes on their own, the relevant items will be circled (O). The performance of the participants will be scored according to three separate criteria for each section: (1) the time taken until the "start" command and the last item of the section are answered; (2) the number of errors; (3) the number of corrected responses. The minimum time to complete the reading/saying process for each section, the "0" error score and the "0" number of corrections determine the highest score that can be obtained from the Stroop Test. | ClinicalTrials.gov |

| Primary | Evaluation of Dual- Task Performance | a day before the rehabilitation | In order for dual-task performance to be fully evaluated, both tasks must be evaluated separately and then as a dual-task before and after rehabilitation. The tasks given in our study will be evaluated one by one before the application. In our study, dual-task performance will be measured by calculating the 'dual-task effect' for both tasks. If the result is positive, there is an improvement in dual-task conditions; negative, it will be considered a reduction in dual-task conditions. Positive dual-task effect values show the relative improvement in dual-task performance; negative dual-task effect values indicate worsening of performance in dual-task compared to single-task. | ClinicalTrials.gov |

| Primary | Y Balance Test | a day before the rehabilitation | Star Shaped Sudden Change Balance Test is a test that measures balance dynamically that requires strength, flexibility and proprioception. Y Balance test is a modified version of this test. This modified test includes extensions in the anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions. The test procedures will be set up on a flat surface with 3 measuring tapes so that the angle between the posteromedial-posterolateral direction is 90˚ and the angle between the anterior and posterior directions is 135˚. The individual will be asked to stand on one foot at the midpoint of the test setup and touch the anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral directions with the other foot while maintaining the correct balance with the tip of the toe. The test will be repeated 3 times in all directions, averaged and recorded in cm. The score will be obtained by taking the average of 3 elongation for each direction, dividing this average by the leg length and multiplying by 100. | ClinicalTrials.gov |

| Primary | Berg Balance Scale | a day before the rehabilitation | Berg balance scale is a frequently used and easily applicable scale to evaluate static and dynamic balance in adults, consisting of fourteen instructions. The highest possible score is 56 points. 0-20 points indicate balance disorder, 21-40 points indicate an acceptable balance, and 41-56 points indicate a good balance. It takes about 10 to 20 minutes to complete the scale. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
