Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to test and optimize the feasibility of an activity-based resistance training program for patients with sarcopenic dysphagia. The study is a feasibility study designed as a multiple-case study with quantitative and qualitative data sources related to a number of feasibility outcomes and clinical outcomes during and after the intervention. Participants are 15 patients\> 65 years of age are referred for dysphagia assessment by an Occupational Therapist (patients may be admitted to several different wards (endocrinology, pulmonary medicine, infectious medicine, gastrology). The intervention is offered during hospitalization and after discharge for a maximum of 12 weeks.

activity-based resistance training of ingestive skills (ACT-ING-program)

The ACT-ING program is based on a task-oriented approach within motor behavior theories and combines resistance training principles with goal-directed and task-specific swallowing exercises in eating and drinking activities through a client-centered procedure informed by self-determination theory.
