The present invention addresses the problem of providing a muscle activity measurement device and a muscle activity measurement method which make it possible to measure the muscle activity of an object to be sensed with increased accuracy. The muscle activity measurement device is provided with a magnetic sensor unit which senses a magnetic field generated from a living body. The muscle activity measurement device identifies an installed direction of the muscle activity measurement device, and includes an indication, on a surface of a container, which comprises identification information for installing the muscle activity measurement device in such a way that a magnetism sensing direction X of the magnetic sensor unit and the direction in which the muscle fibers of the living body as the object to be sensed extend are substantially orthogonal to each other.

Muscle activity measurement device and muscle activity measurement method

A magnetic measuring apparatus includes an inclination gantry including a mount surface and an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the mount surface, a cryostat disposed on the inclined surface, a cryocooling system connected to the cryostat, a sensor tube connected to the cryostat and including a curved surface that does not curve in a predetermined direction and curves in a direction orthogonal to the predetermined direction such that a center of the curved surface protrudes with respect to side edges of the curved surface, and a magnetic sensor that measures biomagnetism and is housed in the sensor tube such that a sensor surface of the magnetic sensor faces the curved surface. The sensor surface is inclined with respect to the mount surface in a direction that is the same as a direction in which the inclined surface is inclined.
