Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of how to determine a normal urodynamic evaluation in adults and children. In order to define and assess a normal study, one must be aware of the normal values in each measurable parameter, as well as the appearance, pattern, and configuration of the graphic display, and the variability that is noted in these parameters, even in normal, asymptomatic patients. Several examples of normal urodynamic studies are given.
