The study aims to examine the effects of balance exercises applied with different visual stimuli on individuals with MS.

This study will be conducted to investigate the effects of video training given to caregivers of patients who underwent percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy on the compliance of patients and caregivers to gastrostomy. A single-group quasi-experimental study was planned to determine the effect of training on the compliance of patients and caregivers to gastrostomy and the caregiver's gastrostomy care skills. The universe of the study will consist of caregivers who met the inclusion criteria for the study in which gastrostomy procedure was performed for the first time at Beykoz State Hospital between the dates of September 1, 2024 and March 31, 2026. G*Power power analysis was performed to determine the sample size. According to Cohen's effect size coefficients; according to the calculation made assuming that it will have a large effect size (d=0.8), it was decided that there should be at least 20 people with α=0.05 level, 95% power; considering the losses, it was decided to include 25 people in the study. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 26 program will be used for statistical analyses of the data obtained from the study. While evaluating the study data, descriptive statistical methods (mean, standard deviation, median, frequency and ratio) as well as Shapiro Wilks test and Box Plot graphics will be used in the evaluation of the distribution of the data. Student t test, Oneway Anova test will be used in the evaluation of variables showing normal distribution and Bonferroni test will be used in the determination of the group causing the difference. Paired Samples t test will be used in the evaluations within the groups. Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test will be used in the evaluations of variables not showing normal distribution and Dunn test will be used in the determination of the group causing the difference. Wilcoxon Signed Rank test will be used in the evaluations within the groups. Pearson or Spearman's correlation analysis, linear regression modeling will be done in the evaluation of variables. Chi-Square test and Fisher's Exact test will be used in the comparison of qualitative data. The results will be evaluated at a confidence interval of 95% and significance at p<0.05.

The aim of this clinical trial is to learn the acute effects of passive stretching and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching techniques on agility, speed and lower extremity explosive strength in young basketball players. It will also provide information about the comparison of two different stretching techniques. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does passive stretching have positive acute effects on agility, speed and lower extremity explosive strength? Does PNF stretching have positive acute effects on agility, speed and lower extremity explosive strength? The acute effects of passive stretching and PNF stretching on agility, speed and lower extremity explosive strength will be compared.
Participants:
First tests were performed after the same warm-up program. Then, one of the two different stretching techniques was applied and the same tests were repeated immediately afterwards.
