TÜBİTAK 1002-A Program Support for the Project of Our Physiotherapy Program Faculty Members

The project titled "The Effect of Core Stabilization and Upper Extremity Functional Exercises on Motor Competency Levels in Individuals with Mild Intellectual Disabilities," prepared under the leadership of Assoc. Prof. Ayşegül Demir Sarıipek, Assistant Director of our Vocational School of Health Services and Lecturer in the Physiotherapy Program, has been awarded funding under the TÜBİTAK 1002-A Rapid Support Program.

In this project, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hazel Çelik Güzel, a faculty member of our Vocational School of Health Services, serves as a researcher, and Prof. Dr. Nurettin Konar, a faculty member of Haliç University, serves as a consultant.

The project aims to scientifically evaluate the effects of core stabilization and upper extremity functional exercises on motor competency levels in individuals with mild intellectual disabilities. The findings of the research are expected to contribute to the rehabilitation processes of individuals with special needs and support the development of evidence-based practices in the field of physiotherapy.

We congratulate our faculty members on their project, which was awarded support under the TÜBİTAK 1002-A Rapid Support Program, and wish them continued success.
