The only system that isolate single joints for functional diagnosis and exercise

The Ariel Computerized

Exercise System

CES 5000 Back

The only system that isolates the lumbar spine for functional diagnosis and exercise.

� Interactive, Closed Loop Biofeedback - Senses and automatically responds to patient performance up to 16,000 times per second to produce precise control of resistance and speed during performance of the chosen range of motion.

� Bidirectional - Exercise velocity and resistance in each direction are independently programmed and controlled. Allows training and comparison of antagonistic muscle groups. Conditions both the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular system.

� Hydraulic Resistance - No mechanical system breakdown. Smooth, even movement throughout the range of motion.

� Safe - Equipment continually adjusts to patient for safe. complete rehabilitation. No emergency stop Control necessary.

� Simple to Operate - User friendly computer screen menu with formatted exercise and test protocols or

customized programs. Help screens always accessible.

� Versatile - Can program an exercise separately or in anv comhination for isotonic, isokinetic, isometric or variable dynamic loads and speeds. Personalized exercise programs are geared to the physical needs and requirement, of the individual.

� Cost Effective - Expands treatment capabilities, minimize, set up time. and increases earning potential with minimal capital investment.

� Increased Productivity - Interactive capability allows less patient supervision.

� User Files - Patient protocols for testing and exercise are stored on a 120 MB hard disk and can he transferred to individual floppy diskettes. Large amounts of data Can be easily stored, retrieved or compared. Ariel users may develop customized data bases based on normative data or their own patient population. Research files may be transferred between Ariel users by modem.

� EM'IG Data Acquisition Package (optional) - Simple. non-invasive procedure with pre-amplified surface electrodes. Helps identify malingerers and substantiate workers' compensation claims by integrating muscle activity with muscle function.

The Ariel CES 5000 Back is ergonomically designed for lumbar extension and abdominal

flexion.

No other computerized system adjusts to the patient to ensure optimum prograniming and safety, instead of having the patient adjust to the system.

It specifically isolates the abdominal-lumbar

areas with simple adjustments.

The Ariel Back is easy to use. Electric motors adjust the seat to its optimum position, allowing quick and efficient patient positioning.

Lumbar extension and abdominal Ilexion can he tested, quantified and excrcized independently.

The Ariel Back has an adjustable range of motion and programmable. stops, which allows specific safety in testing and rehabilitation according to patient needs.

A minimal equipment footprint reduces space requirement.

It is designed for additional attachments, such as lift testing and lateral back flexion/extension.

Protocols can be designed to mimic specific lifting situation,.

Operating System

The Ariel CES 500( 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 50(10 can he equipped with a color printer for obtaining a hard copy of all graphs for total performance evaluation. Reports nw% he custumited for third party reimburs ment.

The Ariel CES 5000 software displays functional information for rehabilitation and training which no other system can provide.

Exercise Parameter Screen displays exercise mode, velocity, resistance and repetition for each exercise parameter.

liar 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 'fable presents statistical information on velocity, resistance, and work load.

Curve h;xpansion identifies details of a repetition not otherwise easily distinguishable.

Fatigue Curve indicates endurance parameters for total performance analysis.

Isometric Stops can he positioned at any point for any length of time.

Pyramid Curve displays performance as a function of controlled changes in speed or resistance.
