This study shows the positive effects of only 8 weeks (24 session of 5*1 minutes) Galileo Therapy on muscle function, cognition and disability status in MS (Multiple Sclerosis) patients (20Hz, Position 1.5, 20° bent legs, 5 * 1 minutes, 3 session per week over 8 weeks, see also #GRFS82).
The results show significant improvements in of disease related symptoms assessed by different scoring methods like PDDS (Patient Determined Disease Steps) und MSFC (Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composites) – both assessments which document the disease related disabilities. PDDS as well as the MS specific MSFC showed significant improvements of up to 18% in PDDS as well as +0.36 standard deviations (SD) in the MSFC. The average MSFC values was 0 SD at the beginning of the study and 0.36 SD at the end of the study. Th 0 SD value is equivalent to the average disability status of the reference group, while a value of 0.36 SD means a decrease in disease related disabilities.
Galileo therapy can therefore be used very effectively in MS treatment and other Galileo studies showed several positive effects on MS patients (#GRFS132, #GRFS112, #GRFS82).
