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...

Galileo Research Facts No. 84: Can Galileo Therapy improve trunk control in stroke patients?
This study shows the effects of Galileo Therapy on trunk control (sitting balance) in stroke patients (15-22Hz, pos.1-4, 4*3 minutes, 5/week, 4 weeks, ‘functional training’ while sitting, feet on Galileo). The control group received ‘functional training’ (hand and should function) only, the Galileo group performed identical exercises while the feet where vibrated. The Galileo group showed significantly higher improvements of trunk control...

Galileo Research Facts No. 83: Can Galileo Training be more effective to improve muscle power than vertical vibration?
This study compare Galileo Training vs vertical vibration (Power Plate) (Gal: 26Hz, 2,5mm, PP:30Hz, 4mm, static & dynamic 90° squat, 4x60-100s, 10 weeks). All three groups received upper body strength training exercises, the Galileo and Power Plate groups additional vibration training. The Galileo groups showed after 10 weeks of training the highest average improvements in muscle function and muscle power...

Galileo Research Facts No. 82: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle function and cognition in MS patients?
This study investigated the effects of 8 weeks of Galileo Therapy on the disability status of MS (Multiple Sclerosis) patients (20Hz, pos. 1.5, 5*1 min., 3/week, 8 weeks, 20° bent legs). The results show significant improvements in muscle function, cognition and disability status: +0,4 points motor function & cognition, +8% hand motor function, +14% disability status, +19% calculating & memory +26% gait speed...

Galileo Research Facts No. 81: Can Galileo Training improve blood flow and exhaust the muscles?
This study reported the effects of Galileo Training at high frequencies on blood flow and NO concentration in 58-83 year old individuals (26Hz, pos. 2, 30°-40° squat, 10x30s, 60s rest). The control group performed identical exercises without vibration. The Galileo groups showed significant improvements of blood flow during the training (+15%) and significant increase of NO concentration 5 minutes after the exercise (+43%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 80: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle power in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)?
This study documented the effects of 4 weeks of Galileo Therapy on muscle power and quality of life in patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) (20Hz, pos. 2, 60 minutes, 4/week, 4 weeks). The control group received standard physio-therapy the Galileo group additional Galileo Therapy. The Galileo Group showed significantly higher increase in muscle power (+12%) and in quality of life assessment (+23%)...
