Abstract
A method of measuring a metric of a measurement area of interest on a subject comprises contacting a part of the subject on a rest of a measurement apparatus that comprises an arm, a base attached to or formed on the arm, and a displacement sensor attached to the arm; adjusting the measurement apparatus to optimize the spatial relationship between the displacement sensor and the measurement area of interest on the subject; and measuring the metric.
Claims16
A device for measuring a metric of a measurement area of interest on a subject comprising:
- an arm;
- a rest attached to or formed on the arm;
- a base attached to or formed on the arm;
- and
- a displacement sensor attached to the arm;
- wherein the arm, rest, and displacement sensor can be adjusted to maximize the spatial relationship between the displacement sensor and the measurement area of interest on the subject;
- wherein the metric is laryngeal or pharyngeal muscular movement upon swallowing.
A device for measuring a metric of a measurement area of interest on a subject comprising:
- a base;
- an arm assembly lockably adjustably connected to the base;
- a rest lockably adjustably connected to the arm assembly;
- and
- a displacement sensor lockably adjustably attached to the arm assembly;
- wherein the arm, rest, and displacement sensor can be adjusted to maximize the spatial relationship between the displacement sensor and the measurement area of interest on the subject and locked in such relationship;
- wherein the metric is laryngeal or pharyngeal muscular movement upon swallowing.
