The exercise program will be a total of 6 weeks, 3 days a week. Online access will be carried out synchronously by telephone or computer, and training sessions will not be recorded in order to protect patient personal information. The cases will be evaluated online at the beginning of the study and at the end of the 6-week exercise program. The selected evaluation parameters have been selected considering the ease of online application.
