Galileo Research Facts No. 168: Is in Parkinson’s regeneration after Galileo Therapy faster than after treadmill therapy?

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of treadmill therapy and Galileo Therapy in Parkinson’s patients on training intensity (oxygen uptake) as well as regeneration (4 weeks, 4/week: 4x5 min. walking vs. 10x1 Min Galileo, 26Hz, pos. 4, static semi squat). The Galileo group showed increased oxygen uptake (+41%) after 20 minutes but at the same time a significantly decreased regeneration time (EPOC, -37%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 88: Can Galileo Therapy improve balance and muscle function in Parkinson’s patients?

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%...
