Tapotage

Question
What are the latest insights about tapotage?
Answer
Dear questioner,
Tapotage or vibrations are a method that was used to be done, but is no longer recommended. After all, there is no proven effect that the vibrations are reaching the lung fields. At present there are more efficient techniques for treating the patient.
It is important that physiotherapy is supervised by a specialized respiratory therapist.
Best regards,
Prof. K. de Boeck
