A total of 124 patients who were randomized as study and control group followed by Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Geriatric Medicine were included to the study. Thirty minutes physiotherapy and rehabilitation program was applied to the patients in the study group according to their functional levels. Geriatric patients in the control group did exercises by themselves. Demographic data, cognitive functions, muscle strength, presence of comorbidity, functional mobility, physical activity, daily living activities, fear of fall, quality of life and depression status were assessed of all cases.
