Summary

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of resistance swallowing rehabilitation using Chin Tuck Against Resistance (CTAR) exercises combined with an innovative swallowing pressure ball in improving swallowing function and swallowing-related quality of life among home-based older stroke patients with dysphagia.

Participants will receive a 12-week swallowing rehabilitation program conducted in the home-care setting. Outcome measures include swallowing function assessments, swallowing-related quality of life, and rehabilitation adherence. The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial to explore the feasibility and clinical benefits of resistance-based swallowing rehabilitation in community and home-care environments.
