Normative Values for Esophageal Motility Assessed in the Physiological Seated Position for 16-Channel Water Perfused High-resolution Esophageal Manometry System and Postural Variations in Healthy Volunteers.

Conclusions: This paper provides normative values for the Advanced Manometry Systems 16-channel water perfused system in the physiological seated position for CC metrics. Our findings of higher IRP and lower DCI in sitting posture than previously reported supine CC cut-offs, confirm the need to use posture-specific cut-offs for reporting HREM tracings.
