About this study
Official title: Investigation of Cognitive Functions, Manual Skills and Upper Extremity Muscle Thickness of Geriatric Individuals Living in Nursing Homes and Homes
The aim of this study is to examine the cognitive functions, manual skills and upper extremity muscle thickness of geriatric individuals living in a nursing home and at home. Geriatric individuals with similar demographic characteristics between the ages of 55-80 living in a nursing home and at home will be included in the study. Demographic information of the individuals will be recorded and evaluated. Manual skills of geriatric individuals will be evaluated with Purdue Pegboard Test, hand dynamometer, and pinch meter; cognitive status will be evaluated with STROOP, MoCA tests, and muscle thickness will be evaluated with ultrasound. It is planned to include 100 geriatric individuals in the study. Geriatric family members of Atılım University employees and volunteer geriatric individuals in a nursing home will be included in the study.

| Community-dwelling older adults | Not described | |
| Nursing Home Residents | Not described |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Ultrasonographic Evaluation
In this study, ultrasonography (US) will be used to evaluate the upper extremity muscle thickness (forearm, biceps, triceps, deltoid) of the participants.
Measured: Baseline
Purdue Pegboard Test
In this study, the Purdue Pegboard Test will be used to evaluate the fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination of the participants.
Measured: Baseline
Hand Dynamometer
In this study, a dynamometer will be used to evaluate the hand grip strength of the participants.
Measured: Baseline
Pinch Meter
In this study, a pinch meter will be used to assess the finger grip strength of the participants.
Measured: Baseline
Stroop T-Bag Form
In this study, the Stroop Test will be applied to evaluate the cognitive control and attention abilities of the participants.
Measured: Baseline
Montreal Cognitive Assessment
In this study, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test will be applied to evaluate the general cognitive functions of the participants.
Measured: Baseline
