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.
