Galileo Research Facts No. 165: Can Galileo Therapy improve voluntary muscle activation in children with CP?

This study investigated short-term effects of Galileo Therapy (16-25Hz, pos. 1,5-3, 1 min., 10° knee angle, fore-foot stance) in children with spastic Cerebral Palsy (CP, GMFCS 2-4, 4-12 Jahre). The mechanical reflex (-12%), active Range of Motion (+15%) and the voluntary muscle activation (+17, +37%) was measured. The observed significant improvements explain why Galileo Therapy is so effective in Spasticity Management...

Galileo Research Facts No. 18: Does Galileo Training transmit more vibrations to the head than vertical vibration training?

This study compares vibration transmission to the head at different knee angles for Galileo Training compared with vertical vibration (30Hz, pos. 2, standing, knee angle between 10° and 35°). For identical stimulation parameters (30Hz, pos. 2) vibration transmission to the head for Galileo Training is between 40% and 65% smaller than in vertical vibration. For this reason Galileo Training also supports frequencies below 20Hz...
