ABSTRACT:
A method and device for administering pulmonary physical therapy to a patient. The device comprises a control console comprising a sound generator for generating sounds, and a patient contact board. The control console has knobs for adjusting the frequency, wavelength, duration and volume of the sounds from the sound generator, and a power cord for connecting the control console to a power source. The patient contact board is connected to the control console. The contact board has a plurality of speakers mounted on the front face of the board and connected to said sound generator for transmitting the sounds generated by said sound generator. There is a soundproof lining along the back face of the board. The method involves holding the board to the patient's chest or having the patient lean against the board and administering low frequency sound waves to the patient's chest via the control console to loosen chest secretions.
