Summary
Quantitative analysis of antral motility in patients with gastric ulcer revealed a significant decrease in rhythmic propulsive Type II contractions. After healing of the ulcer, the motility patterns returned to normal. When the antrum was distended, the motor response in ulcer patients was similar to that of healthy volunteers.
