Abstract：Oral weakness in elderly stroke patients is closely related to physical weakness,nutritional status,etc.Oral weakness not only increases the burden of disease and healthcare expenses,but also damages the physiological,psychological,and social functions of the elderly,seriously endangering their physical and mental health.Providing high-quality oral management for such patients is very challenging.This article analyzes the concept,incidence,risk factors,and evaluation tools of oral weakness in elderly stroke patients,and summarizes the comprehensive intervention methods adopted for this type of patient,including oral function training and intervention,health education for patients and caregivers,nursing staff training,and the establishment of multidisciplinary collaborative teams.Aiming to enhance the understanding of oral weakness in elderly stroke patients,early identification of oral weakness in elderly stroke patients can promote oral health,improve symptoms of oral weakness,and provide guidance for oral health management of such patients,thereby improving their quality of life.
