Conditions

Health Condition 1: J96-J99- Other diseases of the respiratory system

Interventions

Intervention1: Expiratory rib cage compression (ERCC): ERCC will be done by placing both hands over anterior and posterior aspects of the one side of the chest (rib cage), then doing chest compression
and pressure will be synchronized and initiate with the initiation of the expiration till the end of expiratory phase. Control Intervention1: Chest Percussion: Chest percussion will be done by cupping
