Abstract

Objectives

To investigate the effects of a smartphone-based oral and whole-body exercise programme on oral function in older adults.

Methods

Individuals aged 65 years or above were randomized into three groups (non-app use, app use and control group), and a combined oral and whole-body exercise programme was conducted for 5 weeks. Oral muscle strength, saliva flow rate, Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), and Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) were measured before and after the intervention. The changes in each group were analysed at the end of the programme using paired sample t-tests, and the differences among the groups were analysed using the chi-square test, Fisher's exact test and ANOVA.

Results

The anterior tongue strength increased by 2.80 kPa after the intervention in the non-app use group; however, the change was not statistically significant. In the app use group, the anterior tongue strength significantly increased by 4.48 kPa. The saliva flow rate increased by 0.54 and 0.71 g/min in the non-app and app use groups, respectively, after the intervention (p < 0.05), and the change was greater in the app use group than in the other groups (p < 0.01). There were no significant changes in the posterior tongue strength, cheek strength, OHIP-14 or GOHAI scores over the course of the study.

Conclusions

A smartphone-based combined oral and whole-body exercise programme can improve anterior tongue strength and saliva flow rate in older participants. The programme, however, did not result in significant changes in posterior tongue strength, cheek strength and perceived oral health.

基于智能手机的口腔和全身综合锻炼计划，旨在改善口腔功能：随机临床试验

目的研究基于智能手机的口腔和全身锻炼计划对老年人口腔功能的影响。方法将 65 岁或以上的老年人随机分为三组（不使用应用程序组、使用应用程序组和对照组），进行为期 5 周的口腔和全身综合锻炼计划。干预前后测量了口腔肌肉力量、唾液流速、口腔健康影响档案-14（OHIP-14）和老年口腔健康评估指数（GOHAI）。结果在干预后，未使用应用程序组的舌前肌力增加了 2.80 千帕，但这一变化在统计学上并不显著。使用应用程序组的舌前强度显著增加了 4.48 千帕。干预后，不使用应用程序组和使用应用程序组的唾液流速分别增加了 0.54 克/分钟和 0.71 克/分钟（p <0.05），使用应用程序组的变化大于其他组（p <0.01）。结论基于智能手机的口腔和全身综合锻炼计划可以改善老年参与者的舌前部力量和唾液流速。然而，该计划并没有使后舌肌力、颊肌力和口腔健康感知发生显著变化。
