ABSTRACT
The motility disorders of the gut represent a heterogeneous group of conditions associated with different parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Although investigative techniques are becoming more sophisticated, the exact relationship between gut dysmotility and gut symptoms is far from clear. In addition, there is a marked overlap, not only between apparently discrete motility conditions but also between these conditions and the normal population. This chapter discusses the separate motility disorders, adopting an anatomical, aboral route.
