Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to simultaneously measure anterior neck movement (laryngeal movement), activity of the suprahyoid muscles, and swallowing sounds when swallowing a tablet, and to analyze the results to clarify differences in swallowing dynamics depending on the characteristics of the tablet (size, shape, coated or not coated) and the number of tablets.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

1. Study Methods and Design
Anterior neck movement, activity of the suprahyoid muscles, and swallowing sounds were simultaneously measured during tablet swallowing of study subjects in order to investigate the relationship between tablet characteristics and the number of tablets, and swallowing dynamics. The study design was a minimally invasive intervention study, due to minor invasiveness to the study subjects. The trial design was a crossover study. The measurement method was non-invasive biometrics. The evaluation method was data analysis and statistical analysis.
2. Study Subjects
- Male subjects aged 18 to 28 years old without significant swallowing problems.
- Planned Number of subjets: 10, because this is a pilot study to evaluate a newly developed measurement and analysis system.
- Experimental Period: One month.
