• The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of manually applied percussions as opposed to mechanically applied percussions
Design
The research will use a prospective randomized control trial as a study design. a study design in which participants are randomly assigned to either an experimental or control group. A hypothesis may be tested to see which variables are most likely to be significant explanatory factors.
Settings and conduct
These investigations will be carried out in pediatric general ward and pediatric intensive care unit in Memon Medical Institute Hospital Karachi.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The research will use a prospective randomized control trial as a study design. Groups of participants will assign randomly in to two groups. participant will be treated with two variables one is manual and other with mechanical percussion. A hypothesis may be tested to see which variables are most likely to be significant explanatory factors.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
To reduce the chance of bias single blind criteria will be carried out.
Participant should know the treatment but not know the which group is mechanical and which is manual percussion
