Galileo Research Facts No. 94: Can Galileo Therapy improve the disability status of MS patients?
This study investigated the effects of 8 weeks of Galileo Therapy on different disease related scores (PDDS, MSCF) in MS (Multiple Sclerosis) patients (20Hz, pos. 1.5, 5*1 min., 3/week, 8 weeks, 20° bent legs). The results show not only improvements in PDDS and PSAT-3 by up to 18% but also an increase in HSFC (MS Functional Composite: walking distance, hand function, calculation test) in average by 0.36SD...

Galileo Research Facts No. 93: Can 5*10 min./week Galileo Training prevent loss of muscle function during 55 days bedrest?
During the 1st Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR) individuals had to stay in bed for 55 days completely. The control group did no training at all, the Galileo group received 10 Min., 5 days/week 12-26Hz of intense Galileo Training while in bed. The Galileo group could prevent loss of muscle function almost completely while the control group lost muscle function by up to 28%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 92: Can frequent Galileo Training improve the immune system?
During the 2nd Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR2) the participants had to stay in bed for 55 days. The control group received no intervention at all, the Galileo Training group did resistance exercise + vibration (24Hz, 6x1 min. to exhaustion, 3/week). The control group showed a decrease in immune system (increased inflammation markers decreased immune competence & function) while the Galileo group improved the immune system...

Galileo Research Facts No. 91: Can Galileo Therapy decrease Creatine Kinase levels in Duchenne (DMD) patients?
This study shows the effect of Galileo Therapy on Creatine Kinase (CK) levels in Duchenne Patients (5-20Hz, 2*1 to 2*2 min., 3/week, 12 weeks). Over a period of 3 months the CK levels dropped essentially by 98% and increases again after the end of the therapy period. CK is believed to indicate the amount of muscle fiber damage due to extensive muscle activity and therefore should be kept low in Duchenne patients...

Galileo Research Facts No. 90: Can Galileo Training decrease Creatine Kinase levels during bedrest?
During the 2nd Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR2) the participants had to stay in bed for 55 days. The control group did no training at all, the Galileo group did resistance training + vibration (24Hz, 6x1 min. to exhaustion, 3/week). The Galileo group decreased CK levels to the same values ad the passive control group but received even better training results than the resistance training group which showed the highest CK levels in bedrest...

Galileo Research Facts No. 89: Can 3 minutes Galileo Therapy improve balance in unilateral chronic stroke patients?
This study documented the acute effects of 4*45 seconds of high-frequency Galileo Therapy on balance in unilateral chronic stroke patients (30Hz, 4*45 sec., pos. 3, slight squat). The results show that Galileo Therapy in chronic stroke patients can improve balance in just 3 minutes by up to 13%...

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

Galileo Research Facts No. 87: Can 18 minutes Galileo Training per week reduce body fat?
During the 2nd Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR2) the participants had to stay in bed for 55 days. One control group did no training at all, the second one resistance exercises (RE) and the Galileo group did resistance training + vibration (24Hz, 6x1 min. to exhaustion, 3/week). While both control groups increased local body fat only the Galileo group was able to reduce local body fat by up to 12% with just 18 minutes Training per week...

Galileo Research Facts No. 86: Can Galileo Training + vascular occlusion improve endurance muscles & metabolism?
This study documented the short-term effects (3h post exercise) of Galileo Training + vascular occlusion on endurance muscles in trained endurance runners (30Hz, 90° dynamic squat, +70% 1RM add. load, 2*60s+180s occlusion). The control group received identical training without Vibration and occlusion. The Galileo group showed significantly higher improvements of endurance muscle mRMA and PGC-1α gene expression...

Galileo Research Facts No. 85: Can Galileo Therapy after ACL reconstruction be more efficient than traditional therapy?
This study shows the efficiency of Galileo Therapy after an ACL reconstruction compared to conventional physio-therapy (15-30Hz, 20min, 4week, 9 weeks, squat +10% 1RM load). The control group received conventional therapy with 85 min/session the Galileo group received only 40 min/session. The Galileo group showed with less than half the time higher therapy results which equals to +150% efficiency...
