The Computerized Exercise System (CES)
Hello Upen Deka,
Thank you for your Email message and interest in the Ariel Computerized
Exercise Systems (CES). I am not certain of your requirements and
requests.
As I have explained in the previous Email message. We have two
types of
Ariel CES machines: Multi-Function and Arm-Leg. The software
capabilities
are exactly the same for both machines, however, each machine is
designed
for specific tasks.
The Ariel Multi-Function machine is designed for "mulit-joint"
testing/training/rehabilitation. It is not designed to isolate a
particular
joint. This is a closed-kinetic-chain machine.The most common
exercises
performed on this machine are bench press/pull, seated or inclined
press/pull, curl/triceps, and squats. It can also be used for the
back by
simulating a lift test.
The Ariel Arm-Leg machine is designed for "single-joint"
testing/training/rehabilitation. It is mainly designed for
isolating the
knee and elbow but can also be used for the back by simulating a rowing
motion.
Additional information can be found at the following internet address.

I have also attached a copy of the CES User Manual for your review.
It is
in a Microsoft Word format.
The Ariel CES machines cost $25,000.00 USD for the basic system.
This
includes the machine, computer, software and interface cables.
Other
available options include computer cart, Analog collection capabilities,
printers, larger monitors, CD-RW drives etc. Shipping charges are
additional and will include the cost of crating the equipment for
shipment.
Delivery times are approximately 30 to 60 days after receipt of full
payment.
Please review the information and feel free to contact us for any
additional
information.
Sincerely,

Dear Bente,
At Indiana State University in the Biomechanics Laboratory, I have
had the Ariel Computerized Exercise System (CES) for the past 5
years. The CES permits you to collect isokinetic & static strength
measures from 0 degrees/sec to upward of 300deg/sec, during a
concentric/eccentric phase of the movement. You can set the system to
regulate the angular velocity/speed of contraction or you can
regulate the movement by the quantity of force. It also has the
capability of providing sticking points during the movement in order
to further develop the muscles at particular parts of the ROM, you
can collect simultaneously EMG and other analog data using
preamplified Motion Control electrodes.The CES has a multistage
unit which can test deadlifts, bench presses, and elbow/shoulder
strength, & squats. also, he has a specific back unit and other units
for knee extension. The computer system also has the APAS performance
analysis software so you can do many other applications, such as
video analysis if you have the avi video files or the unit can come
with the video capture options, as my unit does. I use it in a
undergraduate/graduate student environment and the machine is a
workhorse. It can serve as a training unit or an evaluation
instrument. I would strongly recommend the unit because of it
functionality and moderate cost, flexibility, reliability. we have
just completed a study using the system for back testing after
fatigue and we examined the spectral shift of the EMG after back
fatigue was induced.
Please contact me if you have any other questions, or check their web
page at /
Good Luck with your search and decision.
Sincerely,
Al Finch, Ph.D

ADI: The Ariel
Computerized Exercise System (CES) is capable of Isokinetic,
Isotinic, Isometric and User-Defined exercises. The Ariel CES
is a passive system system based on a computer controlled hydraulic

does not provide any significant benefits and increases the
potential for injuring the subjects. For this reason, the

displayed on the computer monitor as the exercise is being
performed. All exercises can be stored and exported for
"custom" analysis.

ADI: The user can
program single or multiple exercises using any of the supported
modes. Exercises can also be programmed on a floppy disk and
performed by the user without even touching the computer. This
is accomplished by advancing through the programmed exercises
by simply moving the bar on the machine. You are also welcome
to contact the following Ariel CES user.

This user has extensive
experience and established protocols for use with the Ariel CES.

practice.

ADI: Ariel Dynamics
manufactures two types of CES machines. The Ariel
Multi-Function is a "multi-joint" closed kinetic chain
testing machine. The most popular exercises performed on this
machine are: Seated/Inclined Press and Pull, Bench Press and Pull,
Curl/Triceps Press and Pull and Squats. Specific information
can be found at the following internet address:
We also manufacture the
Ariel Arm-Leg machine. This is an open kinetic chain testing
machine that is used to isolate specific joints (elbow, knee etc.)
> Now, please advise whether it is OK if I go for CES 5000
of yours. I need it soon. This machine is mostly for sports. Please
reply as early as possible with payment terms.
>
ADI: Please review the
information and feel free to provide us with your exact requirements
for the machine. We would be happy to discuss any particular
applications or how the Ariel CES can meet your needs.
Payments can be made by
either of two methods:
1.
Certified check drawn on a United States bank.
Payment should be sent to the address listed below.
Ariel
Dynamics, Inc.
4891 Ronson Court, Suite F
