The Effects of Exercise on Gait Characteristics, Balance, and Performance in Patients With Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Turkey (Türkiye)30 participantsStarted 2022-09-01

Plain-language summary

The goal of this study is to investigate effect of exercise program on balance, gait and performance in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus applied with lumbar puncture. The main question it aims to answer are: * Home based exercise program effective on balance, gait and performance * Telerehabilitation exercise program effective on balance, gait and performance Researchers will compare home based exercise group, telerehabilitation group and control group to see if difference in terms of balance, gait and performance
