Abstract
We have developed a “Facial rock-paper-scissors” program that maintains and improves cognitive and swallowing functions by incorporating mouth and cheek movements and voicing, which are part of swallowing training, into a response-type facial rock-paper-scissors game with oral-facial movements. The expression of “scissors,” formed by horizontally stretching the mouth and raising the corners of the mouth, is expected to have the psychological effect of smiling to improve mood. We conducted a psychological evaluation of changes in mood during the “Facial rock-paper-scissors” program using the Profile of Mood States Short-Form (POMS-SF) and Two-Dimensional Mood Scale Short-Term (TDMS-ST) methods, and confirmed the psychological effect of the program on improving mood. Based on these results, we developed an app to run the “Facial rock-paper-scissors” program on a tablet device.
