Özet

Aim: This study aims to investigate the effects of walking on mobility, balance and anthropometric measurements. Material and Method: Our study included individuals with mechanical low back pain, who were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. After the waist and hip circumference measurements of the participants who completed the personal information form, a 40 meter fast walking test was performed together with the Timed Up and Go test. The experimental group practiced treadmill walking while the control group continued to take normal care. Evaluations were performed before and after treatment. The results were evaluated in SPSS 22 software program. Results: No significant differences were observed regarding the demographic characteristics of the participants in our study. However, a notable improvement was identified in the outcomes of the mobility evaluation test (p<0.05). Statistically significant differences were also observed in anthropometric measurements in the low back and hip region (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result of our study, it was shown that walking exercise produced significant changes in mobility, balance and anthropometric measurements of individuals.
