WARNING:
Use of active air therapy surfaces for patients with unstable spinal cord injury could cause serious
injury to the patient.
The percussion and vibration therapies can be done separately or together as a sequential treatment.
Treatments can be done with the patient in the supine or the right or left side lying positions to facilitate
postural drainage or in conjunction with rotation.
Use the same treatment parameters as for manual percussion/vibration regarding frequency and
duration, as directed by physician’s orders.
