Does the measurement of impedance allow correlation of esophageal motility with timeJ. Fass, J. Silny, J. Braun, U. Heindrichs, B. Dreuw, V. Schumpelick, G. Rau (Aachen) Manometric investigations of esophageal motility disorders have reached a high standard today and are widely accepted. Despite the development of sophisticated manometry systems there are still methodological problems such as the breath dependant dislocation of the measuring points, the asymmetric distribution of the intraluminal pressure in sphincter areas and the flow dependant measuring kinetics are not solved in the lea
