Galileo Research Facts No. 106: Can 8 weeks of Galileo Therapy decrease inflammation markers?

Posted by
This case study reported the results of Galileo Therapy in a patient with Anti-Jo-1-Syndrome (auto-immune disease) on inflammation markers like CK, IL-8 and TNF-alpha (26Hz, pos. 2, 6*2 min. + 12 Hz, 3min. cool-down, week, 2 months). Additional therapy was not changed during this time. The results show a significant decrease of the inflammation makers CK, IL-8 and TNF-alpha after 8 weeks by up to 61%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 94: Can Galileo Therapy improve the disability status of MS patients?

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of 8 weeks of Galileo Therapy on different disease related scores (PDDS, MSCF) in MS (Multiple Sclerosis) patients (20Hz, pos. 1.5, 5*1 min., 3/week, 8 weeks, 20° bent legs). The results show not only improvements in PDDS and PSAT-3 by up to 18% but also an increase in HSFC (MS Functional Composite: walking distance, hand function, calculation test) in average by 0.36SD...

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%...

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...
