1. An oscillating positive expiratory pressure system comprising:
an oscillating positive expiratory pressure device comprising an inhalation port and a user interface port;
a mouthpiece;
an adapter coupled to and between the mouthpiece and the user interface port of the oscillating positive expiratory pressure device, wherein the adapter defines a flow channel; and
a control module coupled to the adapter and in communication with the flow channel, the control module comprising:
a housing cantilevered over a top of the oscillating positive expiratory pressure device, wherein a longitudinal axis of the oscillating positive expiratory pressure device extends through the housing, wherein the longitudinal axis is orthogonal to the flow channel;
a pressure and/or flow sensor disposed in the housing and configured to determine the pressure and/or flow in the flow channel;
a printed circuit board disposed in the housing and operably connected to the pressure and/or flow sensor;
a battery disposed in the housing and operably connected to the printed circuit board; and
a visual display coupled to the housing and operably connected to the printed circuit board, wherein the visual display is configured to provide feedback to a user.
