简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of Active Breathing Exercises 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 Active Breathing Exercises on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals with swallowing disorders. All participants enrolled are required to undergo a continuous three-week (21 days) Active Breathing Exercises, with weekends off and training conducted only on weekdays. The training will be conducted two sessions per day, lasting 15-30 minutes each.
详细描述
The investigators have designed a simple and user-friendly training method called "Active Breathing Exercises" based on commonly used swallowing training techniques in the department of rehabilitation medicine and the prevalent pathological causes of swallowing disorders in the elderly.

结局指标
主要结局
Standardized Swallowing Assessment Scale
时间窗: day 1 and day 21
The Standardized Swallowing Assessment Scale is a commonly used tool for evaluating swallowing function. It is widely applied in medical and rehabilitation fields to assess an individual's swallowing ability and the smooth passage of food/liquid through the esophagus. The scale ranges from 18 to 46, with lower scores indicating better swallowing function.
次要结局
- Time consumed in eating(day 1 and day 21)
- Swallowing-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire(day 1 and day 21)
