METHOD OF CLEARING A BIOLOGICAL AIRWAY USING A SELF-CONTAINED PORTABLE POSITIONABLE OSCILLATING MOTOR ARRAY

摘要

In some embodiments, a method may include clearing a biological airway. The method may include positioning an inner wearable harness on a torso of a subject. The method may include selectively positioning at least some of a plurality of engines on and/or adjacent at least one treatment area. At least one of the plurality of engines may be releasably couplable to the inner wearable harness. The method may include positioning an outer wearable harness on a torso of a subject. The method may include applying an oscillation force to at least one of the treatment areas using at least some of the plurality of engines. The method may include adjusting the applied oscillation force to the treatment area by activating the outer wearable harness. The method may include mobilizing at least some secretions in an airway within the subject substantially adjacent the at least one treatment area.

1. A method of clearing a biological airway, comprising:
positioning a first wearable harness on a torso of a subject; positioning a second wearable harness on a torso of a subject over at least a portion of an outer surface of the first wearable harness; selectively positioning at least some of a plurality of engines on and/or adjacent at least one treatment area, wherein at least one of the plurality of engines is releasably couplable to the first wearable harness or the second wearable harness such that the at least one of the plurality of engines is positionable relative to the subject using a positioning system; applying an oscillation force to at least one of the treatment areas using at least some of the plurality of engines; adjusting the oscillation force applied by at least some of the activated plurality of engines to the treatment area by activating the second wearable harness; and mobilizing at least some secretions in an airway within the subject substantially adjacent the at least one treatment area.
