The Ariel CES DOS Operating System
| The Ariel CES software displays
functional information for rehabilitation and training which no other system can provide. The Ariel CES uniquely controls, records, evaluates and
modifies functional performance with programmed parameters that are user defined. The
system can integrate and display numerous forms of information, such as range of motion,
strength, velocity and endurance.
The CES can be equipped with a color printer
for obtaining a hard copy of all graphs for total performance evaluation. Reports may be
customized for third party reimbursement.
 |
Exercise Parameter Screen displays exercise
mode, velocity, resistance and repetition for each exercise parameter.
|
 |
Bar Screen displays the average and maximum
values of each repetition, force, velocity, work, fatigue, exercise time and protocol
settings.
|
 |
Average Force Curve combines all repetitions
into an upstroke curve in the upper half of the screen and a downstroke curve in the lower
half.
|
 |
Repetition Display shows performance (upper
curve) in conjunction with range of motion (lower curve).
|
 |
Data Display Table presents statistical
information on velocity, resistance, and work load.
|
 |
Curve Expansion identifies details of a
repetition not otherwise easily distinguishable.
|
 |
Fatigue Curve indicates endurance parameters
for total performance analysis.
|
 |
Isometric Stops can be positioned at any
point for any length of time.
|
 |
Pyramid Curve displays performance as a
function of controlled changes in speed or resistance.
