The sit-ups test was used to assess core muscle strength. The test began when the individuals were instructed to ''go'', and they were asked to lift their upper body off the floor, raising the lower corner of the scapula. The score was recorded as the number of repetitions completed in 30 seconds. In the study, the test was performed twice, and the highest number of repetitions was recorded.

The modified push-ups test was used to assess core muscle strength. The individuals were positioned on their hands and knees with hands shoulder-width apart and elbows fully extended. They dropped their hips and moved their hands forward until they created a straight line and a straight back from the knees to the hips to the shoulders. During the test, the individuals were asked to maintain this straight position while lowering their upper body until their elbows were bent to 90°, then pushing back up to the starting position. The score was recorded as the number of repetitions completed in 30 seconds. In the study, the test was performed twice, and the highest number of repetitions was recorded.

The Postural Stability Test was assessed with The Biodex-Biosway Portable Balance System (Biodex Medical System Inc., Shirley, NY, USA). The test evaluates static balance by assessing the individual's ability to maintain their center of gravity over the support surface while standing. During the test, the individuals were asked to stand as still as possible. The test duration was 30 seconds and a total stability index score was calculated. The stability index scores range from 0 to 4, with lower scores indicating good postural stability.

The Limits of Stability Test was assessed with The Biodex-Biosway Portable Balance System (Biodex Medical System Inc., Shirley, NY, USA). During the test, the individuals were asked to move their bodies toward target points displayed on the screen without lifting their feet and then return to the center point. During this movement, they were instructed to move as quickly and accurately as possible. The test results in a total percentage score. A lower score indicates decreased stability limits.

The Modified Sensory Organization Test (MSOT) was assessed with the Biodex-Biosway Portable Balance System (Biodex Medical System Inc., Shirley, NY, USA). In the test, by selectively disrupting visual and somatosensory inputs, it is determined which sensory inputs the individual relies on the most to maintain postural stability. The MSOT was performed under four conditions in the study: eyes open on a firm surface, eyes closed on a firm surface, eyes open on a soft surface, and eyes closed on a soft surface. The individuals were instructed to maintain their balance in all conditions. The test duration was 30 seconds for each condition. The sway index scores were calculated at the end of the test. The sway index scores range from 0 to 4, with lower sway index scores indicating decreased postural sway.

The Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) evaluates balance confidence in daily living activities and includes 16 activities related to balance. Participants were asked to rate their perceived safety while performing these activities and their perceived risk of falling on a scale from 0 (completely unsafe) to 100 (completely safe). The total score is calculated by dividing the score by 16 and ranges from 0 to 100. Scores closer to zero indicate greater balance impairment and a higher risk of falls.

Walking performance and functional exercise capacity were assessed using the Six-Minute Walk Test (6-MWT). Participants were instructed to walk at the highest speed they felt safe in a 30-meter straight pathway for six minutes. The score was the total walking distance in meters at the end of the test.

Functional mobility was assessed by the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG). During the test, the individuals were asked to get up from the chair, walk 3 meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down. The score was the total time in seconds to complete the task. In the study, the test was repeated three times, and the average time was recorded.

Lower extremity functional muscle strength was assessed by the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test. The individuals were seated in a standard chair with arm support of 43-45 cm height, with their arms crossed on their chests. When the command "Start" was given, individuals were asked to stand up as quickly as possible and sit down and stand up 5 times. The score was the total time in seconds to complete the task. In the study, the test was repeated twice and the shortest time was recorded.

The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) assesses the severity of fatigue in the last month. It consists of 9 items, and the items are scored from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). The mean of the nine item scores is used as the FSS score. The scores that can be obtained from the test are between 1 and 7, and high scores indicate the presence of fatigue.

The Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS) assesses the impact of fatigue on physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functions in the last four weeks. It consists of 40 questions, with responses ranging from 0 (no problem) to 4 (extreme problem). The scores that can be obtained from the test are between 0 and 160, and high scores indicate a greater fatigue effect.
