PURPOSE: This study was conducted to find out the effects of neurocognitive rehabilitation therapy on the swallowing function and quality of life of stroke patients. METHODS: Thirty patients were selected and randomly allocated into an experimental and a control group. Patients in the experimental group received 15 minutes of neurocognitive rehabilitation treatment combined with 15 minutes of traditional treatment. For the control group, patients received 30 minutes of traditional dysphasia treatment. The experiments were conducted for 30 minutes a day, five times a week, for four weeks. New VFSS and SWAL-QOL were administrated to evaluate the outcomes. RESULTS: Swallowing functions were significantly improved in the experimental group and the control group (p < .05), but there was no statistically significant difference in pre- and post-interventional swallowing between the groups (p > .05). The quality of life was also significantly improved (p < .05) for both groups, but there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p > .05). Third, a correlational analysis between swallowing function and quality of life revealed a moderate correlation between New VFSS and SWAL-QOL (p < .05). CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that swallowing therapy through neurocognitive rehabilitation treatment program could be helpful for improving swallowing function and quality of life in stroke patients. Although there was no statistically significant changes from traditional rehabilitation therapy, training in recognizing the senses in the oral cavity and external environment through neurocognitive rehabilitation therapy can be applied as one of the treatment options.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a swallowing rehabilitation program for elderly on the stage of dysphagia, nutritional status, and swallowing-quality of life. Methods: The research design was Pretest-Posttest Nonequivalent Groups Design. The subjects of this study consisted of 85 elderly patients hospitalized at geriatric hospitals between August 23rd and October 25th in 2012. Eighty five research subjects were assigned to experimental (42 patients) and control (43 patients) groups. The rehabilitation program was provided to the experimental group 5 days per week for 8 weeks. The effects were evaluated by measurement of Mid-upper Arm Muscle Circumference (MAMC), Total Lymphocyte Counts, albumin, Total Cholesterol, and Swallowing Quality of Life (SWAL-QOL). The collected data were analyzed with x2-test and independent t-test using PASW WIN 18.0. Results: Changes in the stage of dysphagia were not significant (p>.05). In nutrition status, the degree of MAMC points in the experimental group was significantly increased compared with that in the control group (t=2.36, p=.021). In swallowing quality of life, the score of SWAL-QOL in the experimental group was significantly increased, particularly burden (t=3.34, p=.002), frequency (t=2.68, p=.011), fear (t=2.44, p=.019), mental health (t=2.47, p=.018), and sleep (t=2.08, p=.044). Conclusion: Based on the results, this swallowing rehabilitation program for elderly would be helpful in promoting their nutritional status and swallowing-QOL in geriatric hospitals.

Eating-swallowing disorder (dysphagia) is a very important functional problem for the elderly, and it has a significant impact on the quality of their life. Because the eating and swallowing processes are affected by oral tissues including teeth, tongue, and oral muscles, it is natural that the dentist as a specialist in oro-facial region, intervenes in the diagnosis and treatment of the disorder. Nevertheless, Korean dentists still lack interest and understanding of dysphagia. In aged society, it is necessary that the dentists understand the functional disorders as well as oral diseases. The purpose of this study is to introduce the evaluation and treatment methods of eating and swallowing functional disorders in order to cope with eating-swallowing disordered patients who are frequently encountered in aged society.

Background: Swallowing function deterioration is a common problem experienced by older adults worldwide. Many studies have been conducted to improve swallowing function in older adults; however, due to differences in intervention methods and study designs, it is difficult to draw a common conclusion. This study aimed to analyze trends and intervention methods in studies of swallowing function intervention for older adults conducted from 2010 to 2022, to establish a systematic approach for developing interventions to improve swallowing function in older adults and to provide evidence for this approach. Methods: Literature research was conducted for studies published between 2010 and 2022 that applied to swallow function interventions to adults aged 60 years or older. Databases including PubMed, Medline, RISS, Science On, KISS, and KCI were used. From a total of 1,164 articles searched using keywords, 20 articles were selected for final analysis. Results: The number of published articles steadily increased over time, and the intervention period was most commonly 6 or 8 weeks. The types of interventions included focused exercises to improve oral muscle strength in 12 articles and programs incorporating education, practice, and expert management in 8 articles. Among the focused exercises, tongue-strengthening exercises were most common in 4 articles. The evaluation variables for intervention effects were muscle strength evaluation, oral function evaluation, quality of life, and oral health and hygiene status. Muscle strength and oral function evaluations were statistically significant in focused exercise interventions, while the quality of life and oral health and hygiene status was significant in program interventions. Conclusion: This literature review is meaningful as a study that can be used to select the intervention period and program contents when planning an elderly swallowing intervention program.
