Interventions
Individuals who voluntarily accept to participate in the study will be divided into two groups as telerehabilitation and clinical practice groups by randomization. Exercises will be applied face to face to the clinical practice group and online to the telerehabilitation group via tablet. Individuals who will participate in the study will be applied twice a week for 8 weeks, each session lasting 50 minutes. Pain, quality of life, endurance, functionality, and flexibility assessments will be taken face to face for both groups before and after the application. Treatment satisfaction scale (PGIC) will be taken from both groups in the 4th and 8th weeks. All assessments will be evaluated twice before and after the training by the same therapist in the clinic, face to face.
