ACES - Exercise resultsExercise results are a
measurement of the performance for a given exercise. If performing one of the
velocity mode exercises, the performance is measured by the force exerted
against the bar (pounds or kilograms). If performing a resistance mode exercise,
the level of force desired to be exerted against the bar has already been
specified, so the performance is measured by the velocity or speed at which the
bar is moved (usually degrees/second) during exercise. Alternately, one may
measure power (power = force x velocity) for either mode of exercise by
selecting the POWER option. DISPLAY OPTIONSThe user has the option
of selecting which �real-time� results will be displayed on the color
monitor during the exercise. The desired plots are specified by selecting the OPTIONS
command from the EXERCISE menu. This will open the Graph Options menu.
Select the Avg/Max
Bars to summarize results for each upstroke and down stroke by reporting an
average (blue color) and a maximum value (red color) for that stroke. Selecting Position,
Velocity, Force/Torque and/or Power will create a plot of
the desired parameter against time. A check mark to the left of the option
indicates that this graph is active and will be plotted during the exercise.
Select the OK button to record any changes and proceed with the exercise.
Cancel will abort the current menu without saving any changes. GRAPHSWhen the exercise set is
finished, results can be presented by selecting the desired option from the GRAPH
menu. Three different options are presented to the user and each option allows
the following graphs to be generated; Force/Torque, Power and Speed. AVG CURVE
- This option is selected to graph the results of the exercise as a function of
position. The Average Curve averages all repetitions into an upstroke curve (in
the upper half of the screen) and a downstroke (in the lower half of the
screen). Available options include: Force/Torque vs. Position, Power vs.
Position, and/or Speed vs. Position. REHAB
- This option is selected to graph the results of the exercise as a function of
time. The Rehab Curve consists of two graphs. The upper curve reports exercise
performance (force, speed or power) as a function of time while the lower curve
corresponds to the position of the bar as a function of time. Available options
include: Force/Torque vs. Time, Power vs. Time, and/or Speed vs. Time. REPS
- This option is selected to graph the results of the exercise as a function of
the exercise repetition. The upper (upstroke) and lower (downstroke) bar graphs
report the exercise performance (force, power or speed) as a function of each
repetition. The individual maximum values are also printed inside the bar for
each repetition. For example: Force/Torque vs. Repetition, Power vs. Repetition,
and/or Speed vs. Repetition. TABLESAfter completing the
exercise, the user may view the Rehabilitation Statistics by selecting TABLES,
STATISTICS from the main menus.
This display shows the
averages and the standard deviations of exercise in both UP and DOWN bar
directions. These are averages over all of the repetitions performed during
sampling and thus represent a �typical� repetition performed by the subject.
Below is a brief discussion of each of these statistical measurements. Peak Value
is the peak (maximum) value (either force or velocity) measured during a typical
repetition. Average Value
is the average exercise value (either force or velocity) measured during a
typical repetition. Peak Power
is the peak power value for a typical repetition. Average Power
is the average power value for a typical repetition. Position Peak
is the relative position within the subject�s range of motion at which the
peak exercise value is measured. Peak Hold
is the time interval during which the subject maintained the peak value within a
user selectable tolerance. This tolerance is initially set to 90% of the peak
value, but may be changed to whatever level desired. Delay Time
is the time interval from initial bar movement until the subject reaches a user
selectable threshold exercise value. This threshold is initially set to 10% of
the peak value, but may be changed to whatever level desired. Reciprocal Delay
is the time below the threshold in one bar direction (end of stroke), and when
the exercise value reaches the threshold level in the other direction (beginning
of stroke in opposite direction). Peak Time
is the time interval from initial bar movement to when the peak exercise value
is attained. Decay Time
is the time interval from the peak value to the end of the stroke. The sum of
the peak Time and the Decay Time is the time for the complete stroke (either up
or down). EXPORTSee also
