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. 79: Can Galileo Training reduce fall-risk and fracture-risk in elderly?

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of 8 weeks of Galileo Training on mobility, muscle power, fall- and fracture-risk and bone parameters (age 60-80, 20Hz, pos. 3, 20° squat, 5*1min, 3/week, 8 weeks). Galileo Training improved balance (Berg Balance Scale, BBS) by 8%, muscle power (CRT) by 28%, increased flexibility (range of motion) by up to 50% and increased the Calcaneus bone quality by 0.3 SD...

Galileo Research Facts No. 67: Can 5 minutes Galileo Therapy increase brain activity and mobility in stroke patients?

Posted by
This study evaluated the effects of Galilee Therapy on brain function (oxygenated Hemoglobin) and mobility in chronic stroke patients (Galileo Delta tilt table, 60° tilt, 20Hz, pos. 2, 5 min.). The Galileo groups showed more significant effects on mobility like the timed up & go test (+17%). Galileo Therapy also caused an increase of brain activity (Hemoglobin) with an increase of 600% directly after the Galileo Therapy...

Galileo Research Facts No. 66: Can Galileo Therapy increase mobility and balance in stroke patients?

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on Balance and Mobility in stroke patients (Galileo Delta tilt-table, deep squat, 25Hz, pos. 2.5, 10 min., 5/week, 4 weeks). Both groups received additional 30 minutes of standard neuro-developmental therapy. The Galileo group showed significantly higher results with up to 30% improvement in times up & go tests and 32% improvement in the functional reach test...

Galileo Research Facts No. 65: Can 7 minutes Galileo Training change the hormonal profile?

Posted by
Diese Studie untersuchte den Effekt von lediglich 7 * 60 Sekunden Galileo Training auf die Sprungleistung und Hormonantwort (7 * 60 Sek., 30Hz, Pos. 5, 90° Kniebeuge). Das Galileo Training erhöhte die Spitzenleistung und Spitzensprunghöhe bei wiederholten Sprüngen um bis zu 13% und reduzierte Testosteron und Cortisol um bis zu 27% und zeigte somit Reaktionen analog zu intensivstem Krafttraining...

Galileo Research Facts No. 61: Are 5 minutes Galileo Mano Training (dumbbell) an effective warm up Training?

Posted by
This study reported the warming up effects of 5 minutes Galileo Mano Training (Galileo vibrating dumbbell) compared to static exercises and arm ergometer training (5*1 min, 26Hz, 5 Exercises). The control groups performed the exercises without vibration or used an arm ergometer (5 Min., 25 W, 25 rpm). Only the Galileo group showed significant improvements in EMG intensity and peak power output of up to 6%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 60: Can Galileo Training be more effective than traditional warm up exercises?

Posted by
This study examined the warm up effects of Galileo Training in comparison to traditional warm up (cycling ergometer) and static exercises (5 min., 26Hz, pos. 3, 5 exercises). The control groups used identical exercises without vibration and traditional cycling ergometer (5 min. 50 W, 50 rpm). Only the Galileo Groups showed significant improvements for jumping height and flexibility (sit & reach) of more than 8%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 59: Are high frequencies for stretching more effective and lasting than mid frequencies?

Posted by
This study examined for Galileo Training the effects of different frequencies on increase of flexibility (6 min. pos. 3, 20° bent knees, 15, 20, 30Hz). The control group performed the same exercises without vibration. ´The effects of Galileo Training on flexibility where significantly higher at mid frequencies (15 & 20Hz) compared do high frequencies (30 Hz). The differences where even higher 15 Minutes after the exercise...

Galileo Research Facts No. 56: Can Galileo Therapy in CP patients be more effective than standard physiotherapy?

Posted by
This study examined the effects of Galileo Therapy on balance and quadriceps torque in children with CP (Cerebral Palsy) (3x3min., 12-18Hz, pos. 1-3, 5/week, 10-45° bent knees). Both groups received standard physiotherapy (5x60min. /week) the Galileo group additional 5x9 min. Galileo Therapy. The Galileo group showed more than double the improvements in balance and almost 60% increase in quadriceps peak torque...

Galileo Research Facts No. 55: Can Galileo Therapy decrease HbA1c (long-term blood sugar level) and improve balance and power as well?

Posted by
This study examined the effects of Galileo Therapy on HbA1c (long-term glucose level), balance and power in 70 to 82 year old (15-30Hz, pos. 3, 3x3 min., 3/week, 6 weeks). The Galileo and Balance Therapy group both received 2/week 60 min. balance, strength and mobility therapy, the Galileo group additional 3/week, 9min. Galileo Therapy. The Galileo group significantly decrease HbA1c and increased balance and power...
