Topics Covered

• Oro-pharyngeal and oesophageal motility can be adequately evaluated using techniques incorporating high-resolution manometry and fluoroscopy
• Major defects in neuromuscular control and function may lead to malnutrition, respiratory complications and a reduction in quality of life
• Oro-pharyngeal and esophageal motor disorders are classified based on patterns of contractile function
• Treatment of motility disorders are determined by manometric patterns of function
