About this study
Official title: Investigation of the Relationship Between Sensory Processing and Potential Impact Factors in Elderly Adults Receiving Hip Fracture Surgery for Falling
This study aims to evaluate the sensory processing processes of elderly adults who have undergone fall-related hip fracture surgery in the last 6 months, according to different patterns, and to examine the relationship between physical performance, fall risk, fear of falling, and depression parameters that may be related to sensory processing.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Adult Sensory Processing Scale
The Adult Sensory Processing Scale is a self-report tool developed to measure the response given to stimuli from different sensory systems in adults, sensitive to individual differences. Scale; evaluates different behavioral responses (overreaction, underreaction and sensory seeking) in five different sensory systems, namely tactile, proprioceptive, vestibular, visual and auditory, which are indicators of sensory processing difficulties. The scale consists of 11 factors and 48 items in total. All items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale as never = 1, rarely = 2, sometimes = 3, often = 4, and always = 5. While calculating the scale, the scores obtained from each factor are graded in 3 different categories: "typical range", "possible difficulty" and "exact difficulty".
Measured: 20 minutes
Short Physical Performance Battery
Short Physical Performance Battery, consists of 3 performance-based tests that evaluate standing balance, walking speed and sitting balance, and which are simple and faster to use clinically than other fall risk tools. The performance time of each performed task is recorded with a stopwatch. Each performance test is scored between 1-4. If the task given in the test cannot be completed, 0 points are recorded. A total score in the range of 0-12 is obtained by summing the scores of all performance areas. High scores mean good performance .
Measured: 25 minutes
Timed Up and Go Test
It is a practical and reliable measurement tool that evaluates fall risk and mobility in elderly individuals. During the test, the participant is sitting in a standard chair with a seat height of approximately 46 cm. With the therapist's start command, the participant is asked to get up from the chair, walk up to the marked distance of 3 meters, turn back and sit back in the chair. To measure performance, the elapsed time is recorded in seconds.
Measured: 5 minutes
Falls Efficacy Scale
Scale; It aims to evaluate the self-confidence of the individual in the realization of 10 activities that are relatively safe from daily life activities without falling. The individual is asked to give a score between 1 and 10 on a numerical scale for each activity. 1 point means I don't trust at all, 10 points means I trust very much and all points are added to get the total score of the test. The total score that can be obtained from the scale is in the range of 10-100. An increase in the score indicates the presence of less safe behaviors related to falling.
Measured: 10 minutes
Geriatric Depression Scale
The scale was specifically designed by Yesavage et al. The easy-to-understand, self-reported 30-item scale includes questions about affective changes, negative attitudes about the past, present and future, and withdrawal from life. By summing all the items, a total score ranging from 0-30 is obtained. It is reported that the risk of depression is high for older adults who score 14 points or more.
Measured: 15 minutes
