Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After a stroke, many older adults struggle with swallowing — a condition called dysphagia that can affect eating, drinking, and quality of life. This trial is testing whether a 12-week home-based program combining chin tuck resistance exercises with an innovative swallowing pressure ball can help improve swallowing function and overall well-being. Researchers will compare this new approach to standard swallowing rehabilitation to see which works better.
Current swallowing rehabilitation for stroke survivors often happens in clinics, which can be hard for older adults to access. This trial explores whether doing these exercises at home with a simple, innovative pressure device could be just as effective — and more practical for people who want to recover in their own environment.

You would participate in a 12-week swallowing rehabilitation program conducted in your home by your home care provider. You'll learn chin tuck resistance exercises and use an innovative swallowing pressure ball to strengthen your swallowing muscles. Throughout the program, researchers will assess your swallowing function, track any improvements in your quality of life, and monitor how well you stick with the exercises.
