About

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.
