manometric tracings

Manometric tracings are visual recordings that show how well muscles in the body, such as those in the esophagus or rectum, are contracting and relaxing. During the test, a thin tube with sensors measures pressure changes as the muscles move. The resulting graph helps doctors assess muscle strength, coordination, and tone, aiding in diagnosing conditions like swallowing difficulties or bowel problems. Essentially, the tracing provides a detailed "map" of muscle function, revealing how effectively these muscles are working during various activities or rest.
