ABSTRACT:
In a therapeutic device (1) for assisting respiration, clearing of mucus and expectoration by a patient by means of which an oscillating air resistance can be generated in the air flow during exhalation and inhalation, with a mouthpiece (2) having an inlet opening (7) provided at one end of it and an elastically deformable hose piece (3) attached to its other end opposite to the inlet opening, it should be possible to adjust the respiration frequencies and pressure amplitudes for the individual patient during inhalation and exhalation. This is achieved in that a contact plate (21) is attached to the mouthpiece (2) and is aligned to run in parallel to the hose piece (3) in the area of the mouthpiece (2), that an articulating joint (22) is provided at the free end of the contact plate (21) by means of which a resistance body (23) is in an articulated connection with the contact plate (21), and that the resistance body (23) interacts with the section (5) of the hose piece (3) allocated to it in such a way that the passage area of the hose piece (3) can be variable adjusted from the outside.
