Liver transplantation is a life-saving treatment of choice for patients with acute or chronic liver failure. Liver transplantation is performed with a graft taken from a living donor or cadaver in patients with end-stage liver failure or who develop various complications regardless of the stage of the disease.In liver diseases, cognitive problems occur as well as physical problems. It has been observed that in some liver diseases, including hepatitis C, Wilson's disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, cognitive dysfunction that negatively affects the quality of life of patients, from mild cognitive problems to hepatic encephalopathy. Our study will be carried out in Malatya İnönü University Turgut Özal Medical Center Liver Transplant Institute Hospital in order to investigate the effects of motor-cognitive dual-task exercises on cognitive function, balance and functional capacity in liver transplant patients.It will be divided into 2 groups as classical physiotherapy and motor-cognitive exercise. Classical physiotherapy and motor-cognitive exercise programs will be applied to the groups in accordance with the clinical characteristics of the individuals, tolerable, and in a standardized manner specific to the individuals. Evaluations will be made on the first day and at the end of the twenty-fourth session while the patient is in the service before starting the treatment.
