• Patients with recent abdominal, and thoracic surgery.
* Patients with any Disability; Physical or Mental.
* Patients with unstable angina, advanced congestive heart failure, or severe pulmonary hypertension, because altered intrathoracic pressures during forced expirations strain the heart.
* Patients with advanced kyphoscoliosis or severe pectus excavatum, as baseline structural restrictions prevent optimal diaphragmatic excursion and chest wall expansion.
* Patients presenting with severe resting hypoxemia or highly volatile blood oxygen values at baseline that require continuous emergency clinical monitoring.
* Patients who have experienced a sudden worsening or an acute clinical crash within the past 4 weeks, as the forced expiratory components (such as huffing) involved in active airway clearance can severely exacerbate active bronchospasms.
