Galileo Research Facts No. 140: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle force and decrease fall-risk in young obese?

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on muscle force and fall-risk in young obese patients (26Hz, pos. 2, 20° squat, 5x60s., 3/week, 6 weeks). The control group performed identical exercises without Galileo. The Galileo group showed significantly higher effects than the control group for example on muscle strength (extensor torque increase by +6%) as well as reduction of fall-risk and fall-rate by -68%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 72: Can Galileo Therapy improve bone mass and muscle function in Cerebral Palsy (CP)?

Posted by
This study documented the Effects of 6 month of home based Galileo Therapy (Cologne Concept) on bone parameters and muscle function in Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP, GMFM I-V, 2/day, 3*3 min., 6 months, individualize exercises). Galileo Therapy showed highly significant improvements in muscle mass (+3%), bone mass (+5.9%), muscle force /+7.8%) and muscle function & mobility (+12.8% mGFMF)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 70: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle strength and balance in Down Syndrome?

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of 6 months of Galileo Therapy in Patients with down syndrome (age 8-9) on muscle strength and balance (25-30Hz, 10x30-60 sec., pos. 2, 3/week, knees slightly flexed). Both groups received 3/week 60 minutes physio therapy (stretching, strength training, balance). The Galileo Therapy group showed highly significantly higher effects on muscle strength of +14% and balance of up to +22%...
