Galileo Research Facts No. 134: Can Galileo Therapy in Ataxia patients improve blood-flow and muscle activation?

This study investigated the immediate effects of Galileo Therapy with different frequencies and durations on muscle activation (EMG) and blood-flow (Galileo Delta, 45° tilt, 60° knee flexion, pos. 2.5, 10, 20, 30Hz, 1*3 vs. 3*1 min., 6 session/2 weeks). High frequencies (30Hz) during Galileo Delta Therapy showed higher effects on blood-flow (+33%), exertion (96%) and EMG Frequency (55%) compared to lower frequencies (10Hz)…

Galileo Research Fact Sheet No. 63: Can Galileo Therapy increase blood-flow in the legs of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) patients?

This study reports increases in blood-flow during Galileo Therapy, electro-stimulation (ES) and Galileo Therapy + electro-stimulation (Galileo + ES) for spinal cord injury (SCI) patients (sitting in front of Galileo, 10Hz, pos. 2.5). As a result Galileo Therapy showed the largest effect (130% increase of blood-flow) which can be improved further in combination with ES to up to 250%…

Galileo Research Facts No. 24: Is the increase in blood flow highest during active Galileo Training?

This study reports for Galileo Training the influence of frequency and amplitude on blood flow, and the short-term changes over time before, during and after Galileo Training (1 min., 5-30Hz, position 2.5 and 4.5, static squatting). The results show that with increasing frequency and amplitude Galileo Training can increase blood-flow by up to 420% and that it increases by an additional 50% directly after the active training…
