    Summary

    This paper describes the results of measurements made on 30 patients, tested at the same time of day on consecutive days, with each of three commonly used bioelectronic diagnostic devices. The repeatability of these measurements was compared statistically, using a method known as the coefficient of variation. The most repeatable technique was the AMI of Motoyama. Kirlian photography and the segmental electrogram showed widely varying results, which casts doubt upon their validity as bioelectronic investigational devices.
