In addition to physical therapists, speech therapists are also an important member of the family rehabilitation team. They focus on assessing and treating communication and swallowing disorders in the elderly.
Communication barrier training
Voice Training: Improve voice quality, volume and resonance
Language training: improve language expression and comprehension skills
Cognitive training: Improve memory, attention, and problem-solving skills
Swallowing function training
Swallowing Assessment: Identifying the Cause and Extent of Dysphagia
Swallowing training: Exercise the swallowing muscles to improve the swallowing process
Feeding guidance: Choose the right food texture and eating method
At home, speech therapists use a variety of assistive tools, such as:
Swallowing trainer: simulates the swallowing process and exercises related muscle groups
Communication board/card: assists expression and improves communication efficiency
Swallowing safe tableware: Well-designed tableware ensures safe eating
Through systematic assessment and training, speech therapists can help the elderly rebuild their language communication and swallowing functions, and improve their self-care ability and quality of life.
These physical therapy and speech therapy interventions enable the elderly to receive comprehensive rehabilitation training at home and ultimately achieve the goal of returning to the community and maintaining an independent life.
