Percussion technique (Flat, Dull, Resonant and Tympanic sound)
Percussion is a method of tapping body parts with fingers, hands or small instruments as part of a physical examination. It is done to determine the size, consistency, borders of organs and the presence or absence of fluid in body areas.
Percussion of a body part produces a sound, like playing a drum. The sound is a sign on what type of tissue lies within the body part or organ.
