A respiratory treatment device comprising at least one chamber, a chamber inlet configured to receive exhaled air into the at least one chamber, at least one chamber outlet configured to permit exhaled air to exit the at least one chamber, and an exhalation flow path defined between the chamber inlet and the at least one chamber outlet. A restrictor member positioned in the exhalation flow path is moveable between a closed position, where a flow of exhaled air along the exhalation flow path is restricted, and an open position, where the flow of exhaled air along the exhalation flow path is less restricted. A vane in fluid communication with the exhalation flow path is operatively connected to the restrictor member and is configured to reciprocate between a first position and a second position in response to the flow of exhaled air along the exhalation flow path.

A respiratory treatment device comprising: a housing enclosing at least one chamber;a chamber inlet configured to receive exhaled air into the at least one chamber;at least one chamber outlet configured to permit exhaled air to exit the at least one chamber;an exhalation flow path defined between the chamber inlet and the at least one chamber outlet;a restrictor member positioned in the exhalation flow path, the restrictor member moveable between a closed position, where a flow of exhaled air along the exhalation flow path is restricted, and an open position, where the flow of exhaled air along the exhalation flow path is less restricted; and,a vane in fluid communication with the exhalation flow path, the vane operatively connected to the restrictor member and configured to reciprocate between a first position and a second position in response to a flow of exhaled air along the exhalation flow path;wherein the restrictor member and the vane are axially offset along a common axis of rotation. 2. The respiratory treatment device of claim 1, wherein in the first position the vane is positioned to direct the flow of exhaled air to exit the at least one chamber through a first chamber outlet of the at least one chamber outlet, and in the second position the vane is positioned to direct the flow of exhaled air to exit the at least one chamber through a second chamber outlet of the at least one chamber outlet. 3. The respiratory treatment device of claim 1, wherein the restrictor member is positioned in a first chamber and the vane is positioned in a second chamber. 4. The respiratory treatment device of claim 3, wherein the first chamber and the second chamber are connected by an orifice. 5. The respiratory treatment device of claim 4, wherein a size of the orifice is configured to change in response to the flow of exhaled air through the orifice. 6. The respiratory treatment device of claim 1, wherein the restrictor member is a butterfly valve. 7. The respiratory treatment device of claim 1, wherein the vane is operatively connected to the restrictor member by a shaft. 8. The respiratory treatment device of claim 7, wherein a face of the restrictor member is rotatable about an axis of rotation. 9. The respiratory device of claim 8, wherein the face of the restrictor member is radially offset from the axis rotation. 10. The respiratory device of claim 8, wherein the face of the restrictor member has a greater surface area positioned on one side of the shaft than on the other side of the shaft. 11. The respiratory treatment device of claim 1, wherein an orientation of the chamber inlet is selectively adjustable. 12. The respiratory treatment device of claim 1, further comprising a chamber inlet bypass configured to permit exhaled air into the at least one chamber without passing through the chamber inlet. 13. The respiratory treatment device of claim 1, further comprising a control port configured to permit exhaled air to exit the respiratory treatment device prior to entering the at least one chamber. 14. The respiratory treatment device of claim 3, further comprising a control port configured to permit exhaled air to exit the first chamber. 15. The respiratory treatment device of claim 1, further comprising an inhalation port in fluid communication with a user interface. 16. The respiratory treatment device of claim 15, further comprising a one-way valve configured to permit air to flow through the inhalation port to the user interface upon inhalation. 17. The respiratory treatment device of claim 15, wherein the inhalation port is adapted to receive an aerosol medicament from an aerosol delivery device. 18. The respiratory treatment device of claim 1, wherein the exhalation flow path is folded upon itself. 19. The respiratory treatment device of claim 17, wherein the aerosol delivery device is connected to the inhalation port. 20. A respiratory treatment device comprising: a housing enclosing at least one chamber;a chamber inlet configured to receive exhaled air into the at least one chamber;at least one chamber outlet configured to permit exhaled air to exit the at least one chamber;an exhalation flow path defined between the chamber inlet and the at least one chamber outlet;a restrictor member positioned in the exhalation flow path, the restrictor member moveable in response to a flow of exhaled air along the exhalation flow path between a closed position, where the flow of exhaled air along the exhalation flow path is restricted, and an open position, where the flow of exhaled air along the exhalation flow path is less restricted; and,a variable nozzle positioned in the exhalation flow path such that the exhalation flow path passes through an orifice of the variable nozzle,wherein a size of the orifice is configured to increase in response to the flow of exhaled air through the orifice. 21. The respiratory treatment device of claim 20, further comprising a vane positioned adjacent the orifice, the vane being operatively connected to the restrictor member and configured to move the restrictor member between the closed position and the open position in response to an increased pressure adjacent the vane. 22. The respiratory treatment device of claim 20, wherein the variable nozzle is positioned downstream from the restrictor member in the exhalation flow path. 23. The respiratory treatment device of claim 20, wherein the orifice of the variable nozzle is substantially rectangular. 24. The respiratory treatment device of claim 21, wherein the orifice of the variable nozzle remains substantially rectangular after an increase in the size of the orifice in response to the flow of exhaled air through the orifice. 25. The respiratory treatment device of claim 20, wherein an orientation of the chamber inlet is selectively adjustable. 26. The respiratory treatment device of claim 20, further comprising a chamber inlet bypass configured to permit exhaled air into the at least one chamber without passing through the chamber inlet. 27. The respiratory treatment device of claim 20, further comprising a control port configured to permit exhaled air to exit the respiratory treatment device prior to entering the at least one chamber. 28.
