Galileo Research Facts No. 76: Can Galileo Therapy increase bone density at spine and hip?

This study shows once more that Galileo Therapy can increase bone mass and bone density in many health conditions (#GRFS142, #GRFS118, #GRRFS72, #GRFWS52, #GRFS48). This study was designed das a feasibility and safety study therefore a moderate frequency of 16Hz was selected for training – using 25Hz and more (starting with small amplitudes) to focus on muscle power (#GIS1, #GRFS3) would have been even more effective for increase of muscle mass and therefore for bone mass and bone density.

Nevertheless, it is interesting that even this moderate training intensity caused a significant increase in bone density (assessed by DXA). The control group receive additional (to Galileo Therapy) daily supplementation of Vitamin D (600 I.U.) and Calcium (500 I.U.). The results show that this combination was even more effective especially at the spine. A good example how Galileo Training can be integrated into existing therapy concepts.
