The Effects of Lingual Exercise on Swallowing in Older Adults
Abstract
Objectives: To determine the effects of an 8‐week progressive lingual resistance exercise program on swallowing in older individuals, the most “at risk” group for dysphagia. Design: Prospective cohort intervention study. Setting: Subjects were recruited from the community at large. Participants: Ten healthy men and women aged 70 to 89. Intervention: Each subject performed an 8‐week lingual resistance exercise program consisting of compressing an air‐filled bulb between the tongue and hard palate. Measurements: At baseline and Week 8, each subject completed a videofluoroscopic swallowing evaluation for kinematic and bolus flow assessment of swallowing. Swallowing pressures and isometric pressures were collected at baseline and Weeks 2, 4, and 6. Four of the subjects also underwent oral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure lingual volume. Results: All subjects significantly increased their isometric and swallowing pressures. All subjects who had the MRI demonstrated increased lingual volume of an average of 5.1%. Conclusion: The findings indicate that lingual resistance exercise is promising not only for preventing dysphagia due to sarcopenia, but also as a treatment strategy for patients with lingual weakness and swallowing disability due to frailty or other age‐related conditions. The potential effect of lingual exercise on reducing dysphagia‐related comorbidities (pneumonia, malnutrition, and dehydration) and healthcare costs while improving quality of life is encouraging.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
