ACES. Features Ariel Computerized Exercise Machine ACES Published on Friday, April 27, 2012 by Gideon Ariel The following features are standard on our exercise machines Automatic monitoring and controlling of velocity or resistance during the exercise. Programmable variable velocity to over 1000 degrees per second in each direction. Programmed acceleration. Exercise specificity. Programmable variable resistance to over 1000 kg. in each direction. Programmable pyramiding of resistance or speed in each direction. Measures 16,000 times per second; adjusts 1,600 times per second. Programmable range of motion in each direction. Velocity or resistance can be independently controlled in each direction of each repetition. Computerized diagnostics and testing program for range of motion, velocity, strength, peak force, peak hold, delay time and fatigue index. Provides objective, not subjective, data supporting rehabilitation planning and best return time to activity. Dynamic calibration throughout the entire range of motion. Data storage of performance and progress can chart and save each individuals exercise and diagnostic history for immediate recall. Bi-directional training allows velocity and resistance in each direction for each exercise to be independently programmed and controlled. Utilizing opposing muscle groups allows for maximum muscle fiber recruitment without tearing muscle tissue and reduces soreness significantly. Comparison data is displayed visually on the monitor and prints graphs, charts and tabloid comparison reports of previous exercises and compares them with current performances and/or optimal performances, training and rehabilitation goals set earlier. Performance profiles provides an instant display of average force for each repetition lifted, the maximum of each repetition, the average of both up and down strokes of the entire set and the total pounds lifted. Force curve illustrates the force, work, and power lifted in relation to time, the position of the bar and the pace of lifting. Calculates and reports caloric expenditures. Over twenty different exercises can be performed. Fast set up for patient testing or training can be accomplished in a matter of seconds. Endurance programs automatically reduce resistance with each repetition accommodating the user’s level of fatigue. Compare present performance vs. previous performance Compare pre-injury performance vs. post-injury performance Compare actual performance vs. ideal performance Compare right limb vs. left limb Compare extensors vs. flexors Monitor Force - Power - Speed -- (Any combination) A comprehensive EMG data acquisition system is available, including functions such as real-time EMG data collection, integration, spike analysis, power spectrum, fatigue, and many more. Self-diagnose for mechanical or electrical system malfunction. Exercise results can be displayed as: Endurance by repetition; Endurance by time; Wave form analysis; Fatigue curves.
