Galileo Research Facts No. 32: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle function in COPD patients within just 3 weeks?

Even for typical COPD patients an additional Galileo Therapy of 3*3 minutes per session could almost double the effects of strength and endurance training in just three weeks. In this study COPD in-patients received a 30 minutes strength and endurance training and either additionally 3×3 minutes squatting exercises one group on the Galileo and the control group without vibration.

The use of Galileo Therapy almost doubled the effects on performance for every-day living like walking distance and chair rise time which is an essential effect for this patient group. The results of this study are in line with many other Galileo studies in the field of COPD (z.B. #GRFS124, #GRFS107, #GRFS41, #GRFS34). They show how effective and efficient and the same time Galileo Therapy can be used to improve the physical abilities of COPD patients.
