| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A support system to prevent dysphagia was developed for the elderly living in the community. An exercise (Swallow Exercise) program was developed as an education activity, and its safety was established.
Following this, the elderly living in the community underwent self-assessment, using the Modified Dysphagia Risk Assessment Scale (MDRAS), and a second screening test was conducted for those at high risk for the disorder. The MDRAS score was significantly correlated with the scores of the gargle and 30-mL water swallowing tests, and there were significant improvements in the scores of the repetitive saliva swallowing test (RSST). The validities of these three tests were established. An oral care program was implemented for the elderly receiving nursing care in day-service centers, and an analysis using the AB design method was conducted to examine whether or not their tooth brushing was appropriate.
