The purpose of the project is to explore the technology which could be used to assist swallowing training for older adults. We investigated the feasibility of using visual feedback in training the oral motor functions of healthy older adults. Dysphagia is a growing concern in an aging society such as Hong Kong. Oral motor functions, such as lips closure and tongue mobility, are essential for swallowing. Swallowing muscles weaken and oral motor functions decline with age. Dysphasia could possibly lead to malnutrition, dehydration, aspiration pneumonia, and even death. To improve the swallowing functions of adults, it is important to develop relevant technology to assist swallowing training for them.
