Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of Myofascial Release Training on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals (≥60 year old) with swallowing disorders. It primarily aims to address the effects of Myofascial Release 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) Myofascial Release Training, with weekends off and training conducted only on weekdays. The training will be conducted two sessions per day, lasting 15-30 minutes each.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Myofascial release, also known as fascial release or fascial manipulation, is a physical therapy used to treat muscle and fascial tissue tension or pain. It involves applying appropriate pressure and stretching to release tight fascia and soft tissues, improving blood circulation, alleviating pain, and promoting rehabilitation.

the observation group

The observation group is the only group of the participants.The elderly individuals will be arranged to undergo a continuous three-week (21 days) duration of Myofascial Release Training, with weekends off and training conducted only on weekdays, two sessions per day, each lasting 15-30 minutes. Each training session will be conducted approximately one hour prior to meals. Apart from this,we require participants to only engage in daily activities and avoid strenuous and dangerous behaviors

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Myofascial Release Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Myofascial release, also known as fascial release or fascial manipulation, is a physical therapy used to treat muscle and fascial tissue tension or pain. It involves applying appropriate pressure and stretching to release tight fascia and soft tissues, improving blood circulation, alleviating pain, and promoting rehabilitation. Myofascial release therapy is commonly used to treat muscle spasms, chronic pain, skeletal and joint issues, among others.
