This study documented the effects of Galileo Training in children with OI (Osteogenesis Imperfecta) during the Cologne therapy concept “auf die Beine” on muscle function and muscle mass (10-20Hz, patient individual exercises, 10*15min./week, 6 months + 6 months follow-up). The results showed a significant growth corrected increase of muscle mass (+7%), an significant increase of leg force (+7%) and of the GMFM66 (+9%).
While the improvement of bone mass has been reported in (#GRFS103) this study also showed a significant improvement of growth-corrected total body muscle mass (+7%) as well as +7% in leg force (lifting the body mass on a tilt-table with 545° tilt-angle and +9% in GMFM 66 (Gross Motor Functional Measure, one of the standard tests for neuro-muscular function and abilities in children).
Up to now about 5000 children successfully received therapy with in Cologne Concept. During this world-wide unique project, the Galileo Team was able to work in close cooperation with the Cologne working group optimizing Galileo Therapy step by step.
