Abstract
In some embodiments, a system may include an inner wearable harness worn, during use, on a torso of a subject. The system may include a plurality of engines which when activated apply an oscillation force. The system may include a positioning system which allows positioning at least one of the plurality of engines on the inner wearable system such that the oscillation force is applied to at least one treatment area of the subject. The oscillation force may mobilize, during use, at least some secretions in an airway within the subject substantially adjacent the treatment area. The system may include an outer harness worn, during use, on a torso of a subject. The outer wearable harness, when activated, adjusts the oscillation force applied by at least some of the activated plurality of engines to the treatment area.
