Which technique would be best suited for loosening mucus in the thoracic cavity?
check a. Tapotement
b. Trigger point
c. Fine vibration
d. Petrissage
Explanation: One of the mechanical effects of tapotement is specifically designed to release mucus in the thoracic cavity. Another mechanical effect of tapotement is to cause temporary ischemia (decrease in blood flow) which is then quickly followed by the reflexive effect of hyperemia (increase of blood flow).
