Sarcopenic dysphagia requires the presence of both dysphagia and generalized sarcopenia. The causes of dysphagia, except for sarcopenia, are excluded. The treatment for sarcopenic dysphagia includes resistance training along with nutritional support; however, whether rehabilitation procedures are useful remains unclear. In this narrative review, we present possible rehabilitation procedures as a resistance training for managing sarcopenic dysphagia, including Shaker exercise, Mendelsohn maneuver, tongue-hold swallow exercise, jaw-opening exercise, swallow resistance exercise, lingual exercise, expiratory muscle strength training, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation. We hope that some procedures mentioned in this article or new methods will be effective to treat sarcopenic dysphagia.
失弛缓症性吞咽困难需要同时存在吞咽困难和全身肌肉减少症。除肌肉减少症外,排除其他导致吞咽困难的原因。治疗失弛缓症性吞咽困难包括阻力训练和营养支持;然而,康复程序是否有用尚不清楚。在这篇叙述性综述中,我们提出了作为管理失弛缓症性吞咽困难的阻力训练的可能康复程序,包括 Shaker 运动、门德尔松手法、舌压吞咽练习、张口练习、吞咽阻力练习、舌部运动、呼气肌力量训练、神经肌肉电刺激和重复外周磁刺激。我们希望本文中提到的某些程序或新方法将对治疗失弛缓症性吞咽困难有效。
