Summary

Fraility; It is an age-related biological syndrome. It is characterized by decreased resistance to stressors due to changes in functional reserves and physiological systems.

BESTest, which is frequently used in the literature, was modified and Frail'BESTest was developed to detect balance problems in fragile individuals. The test consists of 6 subtitles. These are participation, reaction, movement ability, sensory organization, biomechanical constraints, gait symmetry. When looking at the literature, the Turkish version of Frail'BESTest has not been found. For this reason, the aim of study is to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of Frail'BESTest in elderly individuals and to question the effectiveness of its clinical use and to bring it to the use of other researchers.
