Includes links to aquatic therapy sites. Project proposal updated. During the past week, I have performed some literature searches on aquatic therapy and buoyancy devices. I have been in contact with Marisa Thalman about rescheduling me Nov. 21 meeting that I had to cancel, but no date yas yet been set for this meeting.
Future plans are still as outlined in the original proposal.
I am still slowly gathering information about aquatic therapy and buoyancy devices in general. I have tentatively scheduled a meeting with Marisa Thalman for Wednesday, December 10, during which I will attend an aquatic therapy class and experiment with the float belts myself. The drawback to my own experimentation is the large difference between my 21 year old body type and that of the average aquatic therapy participant, who is likely older and, well, just shaped differently with different body density. The plan is to requisition an aquajogger within the next couple of weeks, pending the outcome of my meeting with Ms. Thalman. I would also try to acquire some supplies to modify the device to facilitate the actual construction of the new and improved device.
