Abstract
Summary: Studies of the motor activity of the large intestine have led to a better understanding of the normal physiology of this organ. The disturbed patterns which occur in functional and pathological states are easily recorded by modern technology. While of limited use as a diagnostic aid, investigation of the motor activity has contributed significantly to elucidate the aetiology of various disorders of colonic function.Keywords
