It has been observed that there is a significant difference between the mean of sit and stand test according to the symptom display status of the patients (p<0.05). It is seen that there is a significant difference between the mean shoulder and neck mobility according to the symptom display status of the patients (p<0.05). It has been observed that there is a significant difference between the mean of modified jumps according to the symptom display status of the patients (p<0.05). It is observed that there is a significant difference between the mean of the modified shuttle pull test according to the symptom display status of the patients (p<0.05). It has been observed that there is a significant difference between the averages of the jump and reach tests according to the symptom display status of the patients (p<0.05).
