percussion

the act of playing a percussion instrument the act of exploding a percussion cap the section of a band or orchestra that plays percussion instruments tapping a part of the body for diagnostic purposes

Percussion is a method used by a doctor to find out about the changes in the thorax or abdomen. It is done by tapping on a surface to determine the underlying structure. It is one of the four methods of clinical examination: inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation. It is done with the middle finger of right hand tapping on the middle finger of the left hand, which is positioned with the whole palm on the body.There are four different percussion sounds:

sonorous

hypersonorous

relatively dull sound

completely dull soundThe presence of a solid mass underneath the surface will produce a dull sound. Hollow, air-containing structures will lead to a more sonore sound.

Percussion of the thorax - It is used to diagnose pneumothorax, emphysema and other diseases. It can be used to access the respiratory mobility of the thorax.

Percussion of the abdomen - It is used to find whether any organ (anatomy)organ is enlarged and similar. It is based on the principle of setting tissue and spaces in between at vibration. The sound thus generated is used to determine if the tissue is healthy or pathological. The method was initially used to distinguish between empty and filled barrels of liquor.
