Abstract
Major technological advances have recently occurred in the measurement of motility in every area of the tubular gut. In addition, the expansion of motility techniques to include biofeedback has transformed motility recordings from simply a diagnostic tool into an instrument for treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. In the present article the results of our motility studies in the esophagus, the sphincter of Oddi, and the colon are shown, and the clinical importance of the measurement of gastrointestinal motility is disscussed.
