Self-contained portable positionable oscillating motor array including an outer harness providing a compressive force

A method of clearing a biological airway, comprising:

• positioning an inner wearable harness on a torso of a subject;
• selectively positioning at least some of a plurality of engines on and/or adjacent at least one treatment area, wherein at least one of the plurality of engines is releasably couplable to the inner wearable harness such that the at least one of the plurality of engines is positionable relative to the subject using a positioning system;
• positioning an outer wearable harness on a torso of a subject;
• applying an oscillation force to at least one of the treatment areas using at least some of the plurality of engines;
• providing a compressive force to at least some of the activated plurality of engines to the treatment area by activating the outer wearable harness;
• and
• mobilizing at least some secretions in an airway within the subject substantially adjacent the first and/or second zone.

A system, comprising:

• a first wearable harness worn, during use, on a torso of a subject;
• a second wearable harness worn, during use, on a torso of a subject on an outer surface of the first wearable harness;
• and
• a plurality of engines which when activated apply an oscillation force to at least one treatment area of the subject, wherein at least one of the plurality of engines is releasably couplable to the first wearable harness such that the at least one of the plurality of engines is selectively positionable relative to the subject using a positioning system, wherein the positioning system allows positioning the at least one of the plurality of engines such that the oscillation force is applied to at least one of the treatment areas of the subject, and wherein the oscillation force mobilizes, during use, at least some secretions in an airway within the subject at least adjacent the treatment area;
• wherein the second wearable harness, when activated, provides a compressive force to at least some of the activated plurality of engines to the treatment area.
