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.
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.Especially, the increase in the incidence of falls, loss of mobility, dependence in basic life activities, increase in hospitalizations and increased incidence of death make the diagnosis and treatment of frailty important in elderly individuals.

Frail'BESTest
The test consists of 6 subtitles. These are participation, reaction, movement ability, sensory organization, biomechanical constraints, gait symmetry.
Time frame: Day 1
Clinical Frailty Scale
Scale evaluates physical weaknesses such as comorbidity, cognitive impairment, and disability. Scale scoring is from 1 (very favorable) to 9 (terminally ill)
Time frame: Day 1
Mini BESTest
The Mini-BESTest consists of 14 items and evaluates 4 different components of dynamic balance (1) antispatient postural adjustments, (2) reactive postural control, (3) sensory orientation and (4) dynamic walking).
Time frame: Day 1
Berg Balance Test
The BBS consists of 14 items to directly monitor the maintenance of body balance during performance
Time frame: Day 1
Tinetti Balance and Gait Test
In the test used to evaluate balance, walking score is maximum 12 points, balance score is maximum 16 points and a total of 28 points
Time frame: Day 1
