Abstract: A laryngeal elevation measurement device is provided that includes first and second displacement sensors and a control unit. The first displacement sensor is attachable to a neck of a test subject. The second displacement sensor 22 attachable to a site that is part of the neck of the test subject and that is located at a predetermined distance from the first displacement sensor. The control unit acquires the displacement amounts of the first and second displacement sensors. The control unit estimates positional changes of the laryngeal prominence of the test subject based on changes over time in the displacement amount of the first displacement sensor and changes over time in the displacement amount of the second displacement sensor, and the predetermined distance. The control unit outputs a result of estimation.

Abstract: A neck movement measuring device is provided that includes displacement sensors and a controller. The displacement sensors are formed as sheets attachable to the neck skin of a subject and measure the deformation amount. The controller receives measured values of the displacement sensors and sets a reference value based on measured values of the displacement sensor. In addition, the controller outputs the displacement amount relative to the reference value as a measurement result.
