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 Diaphragm Training on swallowing function in Elderly Nursing Home Residents (≥60 year old) with swallowing disorders. It primarily aims to address: the effects of Diaphragm Training on swallowing function and quality of life in Elderly Nursing Home Residents. All participants are divided into 2 groups. The intervention group is required to undergo a continuous three-week (21 days) Diaphragm Training, with weekends off and training conducted only on weekdays. The training will be conducted two sessions per day, lasting 30 minutes each.

Detailed Description

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

Diaphragm training for dysphagia in elderly nursing home residents involves exercises and techniques aimed at strengthening the diaphragm muscle to improve swallowing function. Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, is common among older adults and can lead to complications such as malnutrition, dehydration, and aspiration pneumonia. Diaphragm training may include breathing exercises, postural adjustments, and swallowing maneuvers designed to enhance coordination and strength in the muscles involved in the swallowing process. By targeting the diaphragm, which plays a crucial role in breathing and swallowing coordination, this training approach aims to alleviate dysphagia symptoms and improve overall swallowing function in elderly nursing home residents, thus enhancing their quality of life and reducing the risk of associated health complications.

Diaphragm Training will be given twice a day and 30min per time.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Diaphragm Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Diaphragm training includes both active and passive methods. Passive training involves placing weights on the participant's abdomen to provide resistance during breathing. Active training involves instructing participants to practice diaphragmatic breathing techniques.
