Abstract
A new and protable electronic device called the “Digital Phagometer” is described for the time-based counting of spontaneous swallowing. This device is composed of a piezoelectric sensor and a digital event counter/recorder which can be downloaded to any IBM-compatible PC. The sensor of Digital Phagometer is placed and fixed on the coniotomy region between the cricoid and thyroid cartilage. In this way, it is capable of sensing each upward and...
