| Abstrakt: | Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate the usability and the effects of telerehabilitation on flexibility, abdominal muscle strength, balance function and quality of life in the healthy housewives who were in sedentary lifestyle. Design: Non-randomised study. Subjects: The study included ten women who were not employed and were sedentary in their daily lives. Intervention: The study started with the first face-to-face evaluation. Skype, which is a videoconferencing method, was used as a telerehabilitation application. A total of 10 sessions of clinical pilates exercises were applied by using the telerehabilitation method. The same assessments were repeated before and after the telerehabilitation. Main Measurement: Short Form Health Survey 36-item, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Subscale, Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale, Oxford Happiness Questionnaire were used as the outcome measures. For flexibility, sit and reach test, trunk lateral flexion test, hand-finger ground distance test were conducted. Abdominal muscle strength was measured with crunch test and plank test and balance was assessed by one leg stance test. Results: It was found that there was a significant difference in results of the Crunch Test (p=0.018), plank test (p=0.043), one leg standing test (p=0.018), mental health (p=0.018) and SF-36 pain scores (p=0.016) between pre and post telerehabilitation assessment. There was no significant difference in Rosenberg Self-Esteem Subscale, Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale, Oxford Happiness Questionnaire Score. Conclusion: As a result of the telerehabilitation on healthy sedentary housewives, a significant difference was observed in muscle strength, balance functions on dominant side and some subparameters of the SF-36 (emotional well-being and pain scores).
