  • Gastric depolarization signals normally occur with a frequency of about three cycles per minut. Other frequencies occur in other other parts. Some, but not all depolarization signals are considered to provoke gast ⁇ ric contractions, but all gastric contractions are considered, as also with EKG, to be preceded by electric depolarization signals. Inadequate depolarization signals might occur and it has proved that anormal signals occur with e.g. stomach suffering, such as indisposition, nervous bladder, incontinence, etc. Moreover, EGG presents thus a new way to achieve gastric motility with the advantage to be a noninvasive method to replace and/or complement other, more known methods, such as ultrasonics, gastric emptying, etc. Ambulatoric EGG can provide an easily usable, noninvasive and inexpensive method to analyse gastric activity e.g. in a domestic environment and can in the medical science facilitate a diag ⁇ nosis of gastric motility and to prescribe an adequate therapy.
