Vibrations of the Larynx.
For the larynx the application of the fingers is the same
as shown in Fig. 24, and it is evident that the vibrations have
a direct effect on the larynx itself, while the shakings tend to
pass over it.
Vibrations on the Thorax.
The position of the patient should be either lying down
straight on his back, with the hands clasped behind the neck,
or standing up, as in Fig. 33.
The place of application of the hand in giving vibrations
for the thorax, varies with the nature of the disorder we are
treating. The whole hand is here used. It lies loose and
free, without pressure, on the thoracic wall. The vibrations
pass through the thoracic wall to the lungs, which they
stimulate and strengthen. They produce free expectoration,
followed by less irritation, promote rest and a feeling of ease,
and, when administered in conjunction with nerve frictions
between the shoulder-blades, etc., also reduce congestive and
inflammatory conditions. The vibrations on the thorax are
given for all diseases of the lungs, and they must be continued
for some minutes.
