This article is an overview of the chest physiotherapy techniques used in the treatment of patients with cystic fibrosis. It is important as it uses a meta-analysis of many small sample size studies to try and interpret which techniques are the most effective for this group of patients. However, it does not include important studies reported after 1993.
