Galileo Research Facts No. 116: Can high frequency Galileo Therapy improve blood-flow in spinal cord injury?

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on blood-flow in spinal cord injury (SCI, ASIA A) patients. They received Galileo Therapy on a Galileo Delta tilt-table (45° tilt, 10-30Hz, pos. 2.5, 60° flexed knees, 3 min., then 2 min. test, blood-flow was measured using ultrasound Doppler). The blood flow improved significantly with increasing frequency and time by up to 54% compared to rest (also at 45° tilt)...

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

Posted by
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%...
