physio for cystic fibrosis

In response to CF question, flutter valves and accapellas are also very helpful instruments that the CF can use by themselves to facilitate secretion clearance. They need regular expectoration, and this gives them a lot more independance.
Accapellas are better because they are not gravity dependent, so can be used in different postural drainage positions.

Dear polash000,

I'm not quite sure what you are asking.
Postural drainage positions put different areas of the lungs in gravity dependent positions, to help drain secretions from that particular area of the lung e.g. (R) mid lobe.
What was the question you were asking? Does that help?
