Provided is a biological vascular parameter measurement device that reduces the subject's anxiety during measurement of a vascular parameter. Placing the upper arm (28) on a receiving surface (16a) of a cradle (16) causes a detection surface (18a) of an ultrasonic sensor (18) to come into contact with the skin (20) of the upper arm (28) and thus makes it possible to measure the vessel diameter, i.e., a vascular parameter, in a state where the upper arm (28) is placed on the cradle (16). A vascular endothelial function examination device (10) thereby makes it possible to readily remove the upper arm (28) and thus makes it possible to reduce the anxiety of the subject (12) during measurement of a vascular parameter, merely by placing the upper arm (28) on the receiving surface (16a) of the cradle (16), in comparison to a conventional case where the vascular parameter is measured in a state where the upper arm is caught between the detection surface of the ultrasonic sensor and the receiving surface of the cradle. |
