A "flutter" or A Cappella device (as mentioned above) is a good alternative to percussion/shaking as it gives intermittent positive pressure and has a similar effect in loosening secretions, with the benefit that the patient can treat themselves without getting exhausted!

This looks quite cool, to make physio more "fun" for youngsters! Flower - Home
