Associations between the completion rate of the unsupervised community swallowing training and swallowing function in older adults with mild dysphagia: a quasi-experimental pre-post study without control
Completing ≥20 SSTP sessions was associated with significant improvements in oropharyngeal swallowing and quality of life. Age and swallowing-related medical history were associated with functional improvement, but not with the completion rate of the SSTP.
