Galileo Research Facts No. 56: Can Galileo Therapy in CP patients be more effective than standard physiotherapy?

This study examined the effects of Galileo Therapy on balance and quadriceps torque in children with CP (Cerebral Palsy) (3x3min., 12-18Hz, pos. 1-3, 5/week, 10-45° bent knees). Both groups received standard physiotherapy (5x60min. /week) the Galileo group additional 5×9 min. Galileo Therapy. The Galileo group showed more than double the improvements in balance and almost 60% increase in quadriceps peak torque…

Galileo Research Facts No. 51: Can 3 weeks of Galileo Therapy improve joint sensitivity and gait in CP patients?

This study reported the results of 3 weeks of Galileo Therapy in children with CP (20-24Hz, pos. 1-2, 30° bent knees, 3×3 min., 2/week, 3 weeks). Both groups received additional standard physiotherapy (30 min., 2/week, stretching, spasticity reduction, facilitation). With only additional 6 session in total the Galileo Group showed significantly higher results in gait parameters and joint position sense of up to 54% improvement…

Galileo Research Facts No. 14: Is Galileo Therapy at high frequencies safe for toddlers with Cerebral Palsy?

This study tested the safety and the effect of home-based Galileo Therapy (Galileo Delta Baby Tilt-Table, 14 weeks, alternating 12Hz and 22Hz) for toddlers age 1 to 2 years (GMFCS II-IV). It proved that Galileo Therapy even at 22Hz and for toddlers 12 to 24 months is save, feasible and has a high compliance (PEDI, pediatric evaluation of disability inventory questionnaire, cross-over study design with groups A and B)…

Galileo Research Facts No. 13: Can intense Galileo Therapy improve the walking distance in CP patients?

This study shows the effect of Galileo Therapy (20Hz, 3×3 Min., 4 sessions per week, over 20 weeks) in CP patients between 11 and 20 (GMFCS II/III). The CP-patients improved their 6 minutes walking distance by 35% (GMFCS III) and 11% (GMFCS II), their chair rise time by 18%, their muscle cross-sectional area by up to 5,6% and teir bone density by1,3% in the spine and by 2,2% in the legs…
