Abstract

Significant strides have been made in recent years in the understanding of normal esophageal motor function. With these advances, a number of patterns have been recognized which characterize the motor disturbances of various esophageal diseases. The clinician will find this new diagnostic technic of ever-increasing value in the complete evaluation of the patient when esophageal disease is suspected.
