Tactile fremitus is a meathod used by doctors to diagnose conditions such as Pneumonia, Pleural effusion and Pneumothorax.
The patient is asked to say something like 99 so as to cause vibrations to travel from the vocal cords to the Lung tissue, the doctor can feel the vibrations by keeping his/her hands on the chest and the back.
The video is meant to foster a better understanding of how the vibrations get increased or decreased in different conditions.
The simple yet highly effective use of cups draws a brilliant analogy with Lungs and Pleura. The use of cups and the fact that the experiment can easily be done by us makes the video truly amazing.
