Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of systematic simple swallowing training on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals (≥60 year old) with swallowing disorders. It primarily aims to address two key aspects: 1) the prevalence of dysphagia among community-dwelling elderly individuals, and 2) the effects of systematic simple swallowing training on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals with swallowing disorders. All participants are required to undergo a continuous three-week (21 days) systematic simple swallowing training, with weekends off and training conducted only on weekdays. The training will be conducted two sessions per day, lasting 15-30 minutes each.

BEHAVIORAL

Simple swallowing training

Systematic simple swallowing training includes the following: Warm-up: including joint activities, chest expansion exercise, etc., totally 5 minutes. Cognitive swallowing training: play video of food programs for five minutes. Lip training: Bounce the upper and lower lips to make a "bo" sound. 30-60 seconds. Tongue training: Do the upper, lower, left, and right four-directional movements of the tongue muscle. 30-60 seconds. Mandibular training: slowly open r mouth to the maximum, then slowly close it. 30-60 seconds. Soft palate training: Make the sounds of g, k, and h for 1-2 minutes. Cheek puffing training: Close lips tightly and puff cheeks. 30-60 seconds. Swallowing training: We require the elderly to swallow small amounts of water intermittently and forcefully for 2-5 times. Completing the above content in succession is called a round, and each training session includes 2-3 rounds. 2 sessions a day. Five days a week.
