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. 51: Can 3 weeks of Galileo Therapy improve joint sensitivity and gait in CP patients?

Posted by
This study reported the results of 3 weeks of Galileo Therapy in children with CP (20-24Hz, pos. 1-2, 30° bent knees, 3x3 min., 2/week, 3 weeks). Both groups received additional standard physiotherapy (30 min., 2/week, stretching, spasticity reduction, facilitation). With only additional 6 session in total the Galileo Group showed significantly higher results in gait parameters and joint position sense of up to 54% improvement...

Galileo Research Facts No. 30: Can Galileo Training in children with Cerebaral Palsy (CP) build up muscle and improve gait within just 8 weeks?

Posted by
This study showed the effect of Galileo Therapy on muscle thickness and gait parameters in children with CP (Cerebral Palsy) (5-25Hz, pos.1-3, 6 Sets, 3 min. each, 3/week, over 8 week, increasing intensity). Both groups received regular physiotherapy, the control group additional physiotherapy. The conventional physiotherapy however was only able to stabilize conditions while the Galileo group improved significantly in just 8 weeks...

Galileo Research Facts No. 16: Can Galileo Training even at high frequencies improve flexibility?

Posted by
This study tested the short-term effect of Galileo Training on flexibility (26 Hz, 6 minutes, slightly bent knees, 170°). The control group used a cycling ergometer for 6 minutes at moderate 50W). As a result the flexibility measured by sit & reach test improved by 17%, torque in knee extension by 10% and torque in knee flexion by 8%. The control group did not show any significant changes...
