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. Activities of daily living and depression status was questioned again three months later.
