It is difficult to imagine today the degree of limitation that gastroenterologists had in the past when such technologies were not available, or were only in their primitive stages of development. One example of such technology is the GI motility study and related investigative techniques. These techniques help in evaluating abnormalities in normal GI motility in patients presenting with various functional gastrointestinal disorders, which made remarkable advances in our understanding on GI motility and related disorders. If these investigative techniques were not available, it would not have been possible to demonstrate the abnormal
