Phase N/A

This study is about helping older people who have trouble swallowing, a condition called *dysphagia*. The goal is to see if a special training program can make swallowing easier and improve their quality of life. The training involves practicing swallowing exercises twice a day, each session lasting 15-30 minutes, over a period of three weeks, but only on weekdays (no weekends).

**Key Points:**

  • The study lasts for 21 days with sessions on weekdays only.
  • Participants must be 60 years or older and willing to participate throughout.
  • Those with severe health issues or mobility problems cannot join.

This training aims to help older adults in their daily lives by making swallowing easier, thus potentially enhancing their overall well-being. Participants should not have been in the hospital recently and should be able to follow instructions during the training. This program could offer a simple and effective way to address swallowing problems in the community.
