Sarcopenic dysphagia requires the presence of both dysphagia and generalized sarcopenia. The causes of dysphagia, except for sarcopenia, are excluded. The treatment for sarcopenic dysphagia includes resistance training along with nutritional support; however, whether rehabilitation procedures are useful remains unclear. In this narrative review, we present possible rehabilitation procedures as a resistance training for managing sarcopenic dysphagia, including Shaker exercise, Mendelsohn maneuver, tongue-hold swallow exercise, jaw-opening exercise, swallow resistance exercise, lingual exercise, expiratory muscle strength training, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation. We hope that some procedures mentioned in this article or new methods will be effective to treat sarcopenic dysphagia.

Background: Age and sex differences in sarcopenic dysphagia are unknown. The purpose is to characterize age and sex differences in sarcopenic dysphagia.
Methods: A cross-sectional and retrospective cohort study using information from the Japanese database on sarcopenic dysphagia was performed.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the increasing focus on "sarcopenic dysphagia," a condition affecting many elderly people, characterized by muscle loss and difficulty swallowing.
- It reviews current knowledge and explores new diagnostic and treatment strategies, highlighting innovative technologies and the importance of a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach.
- The aim is to enhance understanding of sarcopenic dysphagia to improve healthy aging and overall care for older adults.
The Prevalence and Prognosis of Cachexia in Patients with Non-Sarcopenic Dysphagia: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed data from a large Japanese database, assessing factors like death rates, swallowing ability, and daily activity levels against established criteria for cachexia, sarcopenia, and malnutrition.
- * Results showed that 17% of the patients had cachexia, which was linked to a higher death rate, but no significant differences were found in swallowing and daily activity scores based on cachexia status.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Hamamatsu City Rehabilitation Hospital, Shizuoka, JPN.
A case of an 84-year-old man diagnosed with "probable sarcopenic dysphagia" using the sarcopenic dysphagia diagnostic algorithm is presented. The patient demonstrated improved upper esophageal sphincter (UES) passage by the immediate effect of balloon dilatation. He had suffered a myocardial infarction and was unable to eat orally for approximately a month, presenting with sarcopenia and severe dysphagia, as indicated by the Food Intake LEVEL Scale (FILS) score of 1.
