Abstract Submission Rules
The only valid method for abstract submission is via email to the address specified on the congress website (nororehabilitasyon@gedik.edu.tr).
The English title and abstract must be equivalent to the Turkish title and abstract. The abstract should briefly state the aim and methods of the study or research, and the main findings should be detailed enough to support the conclusion.
The first sentence should contain the aim of the research, and the last sentence should include the conclusion of the study. New and significant aspects of the study or observations should be highlighted. No references should be cited in the abstract. Since the abstracts will be printed as submitted online, attention should be paid to spelling errors. Authors are responsible for all spelling mistakes.

Evaluation of Abstracts
The evaluation will be done through a blind review process, where the authors’ names, surnames, and institutions will be kept confidential. In order for the abstract to be considered, at least one of the authors must complete the congress registration process.
The Scientific Committee reserves the right to change abstracts into oral or poster presentations and to make the final decision. The results of the evaluation will be sent to all abstract submitters, and it is important for authors to pay attention to the final decision regarding the format of their presentation.
