Percussion and/or Vibration Therapies
WARNING:
Relative Contraindication—Unstabilized spinal cord injuries. Under normal circumstances,
correct alignment on an air bladder system is easy to maintain. However, user error (such as
the activation of Turn Assist, Rotation, Opti-Rest, or Percussion/Vibration functions, when
available) or equipment malfunction (such as cushion deflation) could put correct alignment
at risk. The choice of a therapeutic support for such conditions as an unstabilized spinal cord
injury is based upon the medical judgment of professionals. Each case should be evaluated
individually.
Percussion is the clapping of the posterioral chest wall to loosen secretions in the lungs.
Vibration, or shaking, of the posterioral chest wall helps move lung secretions for easier removal.
The percussion and vibration therapies can be done separately or together as a sequential treatment.
