Efficacy of swallowing measurement device

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Patients with dysphagia; dysphagia

• Registration Number: JPRN-jRCTs042180013
• Lead Sponsor: Saitoh Eiichi

Brief Summary

The elastic sensors of the device were stretched as the larynx was elevated and descended during the swallowing, and the waveforms of each channel were shown to change in mountainous and valley shapes following the laryngeal movement. The timing when the thyroid cartilage prominence passed through the channel coincided with the timing when the elastic sensor in that channel was stretched the most. The automatic measurement of the number of swallows by the elastic sensor showed good sensitivity and accuracy.
