“…Therefore, if increasing expiratory flow contributes to the mechanisms for secretion clearance, vibration is likely to be more effective for secretion clearance than the other physiotherapy interventions. The efficacy of vibration for secretion clearance needs to be investigated with radio-aerosol clearance studies [7].…”

“…These physiotherapy interventions are proposed to aid secretion movement to the central airways, from where they can be expectorated by forced expiratory manoeuvres. Although physiotherapy has been shown to be more effective for secretion clearance than no intervention, there appears to be no difference between the physiotherapy interventions [6,7]. In addition, the physiological mechanisms by which many of these physiotherapy interventions aid secretion clearance are unknown.…”

“…These include the Borg scale, the Modified Medical Research Council Scale (MRC), the use of a VAS to assess dyspnea, a 15-count breathlessness score, the Phonation test, and the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) Shortness of Breath Questionnaire (SOBQ) (72)(73)(74)(75). These scores have been developed to assess dyspnea after exercise and dyspnea related to activities of daily living.…”

“…[1][2][3] Airway clearance therapy aims to improve mucociliary clearance through the removal of tenacious obstructing mucus from the airways, thus improving ventilation. [3][4][5] Indeed, Cochrane reviews 1,[5][6][7] have concluded that airway clearance techniques have the short-term effect of increasing mucus transport, and there appears to be no advantage of either conventional chest physiotherapy or oscillating devices over other airway clearance techniques in the primary outcome measure of lung function.…”
