Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of video-game on swallowing function in patients with dysphagia through a randomized controlled trial and whether it has additional benefits in improving swallowing function and training compliance compared with conventional training methods. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* How effective is video-game based rehabilitation for dysphagia?
* Whether video-game based has additional benefits in improving swallowing function and training compliance compared with conventional training methods Participants will be divided into two groups, with one group completing video game rehabilitation and one group completing conventional rehabilitation.

  • Deglutition Disorders
  • Rehabilitation
  • Video Game

Interventions

DEVICE

Video-game

The video-game has three games: (1) Game One - Lip Exercise; (2) Game Two - Tongue Exercises; (3) Game Three - Lower Jaw Exercise. The whole training will take about once a day for 30 min per session, 5 times a week for 4 weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional therapy

The control group used the conventional swallowing function training. The lip exercise consisted of the following specific movements: opening mouth, closing mouth, drumming cheeks, left drumming cheeks, and right drumming cheeks; the tongue exercise consisted of the following specific movements: extending the tongue, tongue up, tongue down, tongue left, and tongue right. Each specific movement in the steps lasts 2-3s, repeat 15 times and continue with the next movement. The lower jaw movement contains the following specific movements: keep the head as low as possible, and squeeze the rubber ball placed on the neck for 2-3 seconds, repeat 15 times.
