Kyree Armstrong Capstone 2012

Posted by Kyree Armstrong on

For this project I learned the different methods physical therapist use to diagnose their patients. By looking at the results I gathered I was able to create an exercise program he the Drexel student to help improve her sense of balance. After going over the program the patient was given 5 weeks to continue the exercise program and come back after the 5 weeks to see how much she has improved. Although there were some obvious improvements, there were also some areas where more work was needed.

I watched a man play the piano the other day. It was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever heard. The man pressed the keys in order to produce a wonderful sound from the piano. With every stroke of the keys a different note was struck, becoming lighter and deeper as he moves along the piano keys. From the look of piano, I’d say the shape of it has a lot to do with the quality of sound and pitch of the notes produced by the piano. I think from the way the keys hit the stings it tells whether or not the pitch is high or low. I think if I design an instrument to mimic the way the keys hit the stings I’ll get the same tone and notes.  I know that sound travels in compressional  waves, this means that the vibrations of the strings are so fast that its able to travel so far and be so loud.
