Declarations
:
: Written permission was obtained from the Uskudar University Medical Research Ethical Committee of the relevant university (Protocol: E-29624016–050.99–1669762). Informed consent was read and signed by each participant. All principles of the Helsinki Declaration were followed throughout the study.A document indicating that the study had been reviewed by the ethics committee was obtained prior to the start of the study. Before patients were enrolled in the study on a voluntary basis, the Informed Voluntary Consent Form, which contained clear and understandable information about the purpose, method, duration, possible risks and benefits of the study, was obtained in writing in a face-to-face interview. Until the end of the research, we acted in accordance with the purpose and ethical rules (reporting research results accurately and honestly, including negative results, keeping participants' personal information confidential and using it only for research purposes). In addition, measures were taken to minimise potential harm to patients, particularly the risk of falling, and participants were informed of this risk.
