Galileo Research Facts No. 88: Can Galileo Therapy improve balance and muscle function in Parkinson’s patients?

Posted by
This study documented the effects of Galileo Therapy on muscle function and balance in Parkinson’s patients (25 Hz, pos. 3-5, 2x15 min/day, 3 weeks). Both groups received 40 min. 5/week physio therapy (relaxation, stretching, body perception), one group received additional Galileo Therapy. The Galileo group showed significant improvements in 10 min. gait distance and massive improvements in balance up to 33%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 85: Can Galileo Therapy after ACL reconstruction be more efficient than traditional therapy?

Posted by
This study shows the efficiency of Galileo Therapy after an ACL reconstruction compared to conventional physio-therapy (15-30Hz, 20min, 4week, 9 weeks, squat +10% 1RM load). The control group received conventional therapy with 85 min/session the Galileo group received only 40 min/session. The Galileo group showed with less than half the time higher therapy results which equals to +150% efficiency...

Galileo Research Facts No. 84: Can Galileo Therapy improve trunk control in stroke patients?

Posted by
This study shows the effects of Galileo Therapy on trunk control (sitting balance) in stroke patients (15-22Hz, pos.1-4, 4*3 minutes, 5/week, 4 weeks, ‘functional training’ while sitting, feet on Galileo). The control group received ‘functional training’ (hand and should function) only, the Galileo group performed identical exercises while the feet where vibrated. The Galileo group showed significantly higher improvements of trunk control...

Galileo Research Facts No. 82: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle function and cognition in MS patients?

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of 8 weeks of Galileo Therapy on the disability status of MS (Multiple Sclerosis) patients (20Hz, pos. 1.5, 5*1 min., 3/week, 8 weeks, 20° bent legs). The results show significant improvements in muscle function, cognition and disability status: +0,4 points motor function & cognition, +8% hand motor function, +14% disability status, +19% calculating & memory +26% gait speed...

Galileo Research Facts No. 80: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle power in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)?

Posted by
This study documented the effects of 4 weeks of Galileo Therapy on muscle power and quality of life in patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) (20Hz, pos. 2, 60 minutes, 4/week, 4 weeks). The control group received standard physio-therapy the Galileo group additional Galileo Therapy. The Galileo Group showed significantly higher increase in muscle power (+12%) and in quality of life assessment (+23%)...

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

Posted by
This study investigates the effect of 24 months of Galileo Therapy in bone density (DXA) at the spine and at the hip in osteopenia patients (16Hz, 3x3 min., 1/week, 24 months). Both groups received Galileo Therapy one a week but one got addition Calcium and Vitamin D daily. Both groups showed improvements of bone density of up to 4% with a slightly higher effect in combination of Galileo Therapy and Nutrition...

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on maximum isometric force of then effected knee in Osteoarthritis patients (18-24Hz, pos. 3, 30° squat, 3x2 Min., 2/week, 8 weeks). Two control groups were used, one without an intervention and one using strength training (45 min. per session). The Galileo Group showed the highest improvements of the maximum isometric force of 25%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 74: Can one minute of Galileo Therapy reduce spinal and increase corticospinal excitability?

Posted by
This study showed the acute effects of Galileo Therapy on spinal excitability (H-Reflex) and corticospinal modulation (motor evoked potentials, MEP) (30Hz, pos. 3, 1 min, knee angle 5°). Only one minute of Galileo Therapy at high frequencies reduced up to 10 minutes after end of the exercise the spinal excitability by up to 24% and increased the corticospinal excitability by up to 23% (less reflex, higher voluntary activation)...
