Özet

Objectives: Bone mineral density abnormalities can cause falls due to imbalance and movement limitation. Morbidities that result from a fall mean a loss of functionality and quality of life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between bone mineral density and gait, balance, and fear of a fall in epileptic patients.
