The motionless position and the movements of the human hyoïd bone are defined by angular and linear measures, with regard to the basis of the skull and the horizontal palatine level. It appears that the hyoïd mechanic, which is at best expressed during swallowing and speech articulation, is mainly dependent on styloid suspension, that allows sinusoïdal trajectories.
