The aim of this study is to examine the cognitive functions, manual skills and upper extremity muscle thickness of geriatric individuals living in a nursing home and at home. Geriatric individuals with similar demographic characteristics between the ages of 55-80 living in a nursing home and at home will be included in the study. Demographic information of the individuals will be recorded and evaluated. Manual skills of geriatric individuals will be evaluated with Purdue Pegboard Test, hand dynamometer, and pinch meter; cognitive status will be evaluated with STROOP, MoCA tests, and muscle thickness will be evaluated with ultrasound. It is planned to include 100 geriatric individuals in the study. Geriatric family members of Atılım University employees and volunteer geriatric individuals in a nursing home will be included in the study.
