Walking ability is important because it relates to independence in daily living activities, but this ability gradually decreases with age. Impairments in walking ability cause falls in geriatric individuals. Falls are the most common cause of injury in old age and can even result in death. Daily living activities involve walking in different directions such as walking forward, backward and sideways. In geriatric individuals, walking backward shows more impairment compared to walking forward. No study examining the effect of sideways walking training in geriatric individuals has been found in the literature.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forward walking group | Experimental | 10 minutes of warm-up exercises, 15 minutes of strength and balance exercises, 18 minutes of forward walking, 5 minutes of cool-down exercises. The 18-minute forward walking exercise was performed in 3 sets of 6 minutes each, allowing for 3-minute rest breaks. The intervention was conducted 2 days a week for 8 weeks, totaling 16 sessions. |
|
| Backward walking group | Experimental | 10 minutes of warm-up exercises, 15 minutes of strength and balance exercises, 18 minutes of backward walking, 5 minutes of cool-down exercises. The 18-minute backward walking exercise was performed in 3 sets of 6 minutes each, allowing for 3-minute rest breaks. The intervention was conducted 2 days a week for 8 weeks, totaling 16 sessions. |
|
| Sideways walking group | Experimental | 10 minutes of warm-up exercises, 15 minutes of strength and balance exercises, 18 minutes of sideways walking, 5 minutes of cool-down exercises. The 18-minute sideways walking exercise was performed in 3 sets of 6 minutes each, allowing for 3-minute rest breaks. The intervention was conducted 2 days a week for 8 weeks, totaling 16 sessions. |

| Exercise | Other | In this intervention, in addition to the standard physiotherapy and rehabilitation program, an 18-minute forward walking exercise was performed. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Balance | Individuals' balance levels were assessed using the 4-Square Step Test. Completion times were recorded in seconds. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks |
| Fear of falling | Individuals' levels of fear of falling were assessed using the Modified Fall Efficacy Scale. The 14 items on the Modified Fall Efficacy Scale assess confidence when performing various daily tasks. Items on the scale are scored from 0 (not confident) to 10 (completely confident) to evaluate participants' levels of self-efficacy regarding falls. The total score is the average of the sum of all item scores. Lower scores indicate a high level of fear of falling. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks |
| Lower extremity performance | Individuals' lower extremity performance was assessed using the Timed Up and Go Test. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks |
| Lower extremity performance | Individuals' lower extremity performance was assessed using the Five Times Sit to Stand Test. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks |
