About this document
Chest Physiotherapy Techniques for SMA by Man Gatuanko is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Chest physiotherapy aims to remove excess mucus from the lungs through physical techniques like postural drainage, percussion, and assisted coughing. It is important for children with SMA because their weak muscles make it difficult to clear secretions, leading to frequent chest infections. While chest physiotherapy cannot prevent infections, it can help remove secretions to make breathing easier. Equipment like ventilators or cough machines can assist the process.
