Galileo Research Facts No. 174: Can Galileo Therapy in COPD improve Balance more than Balance Training?

This study compared the effects of Galileo Therapy on balance in COPD patients (age 50-80) compared to traditional balance training. Galileo group: 4 exercises, 2x1min each, 5-26Hz, Pos.2-3, 3 weeks, 3/week, Controls: identical exercises on balance pad. Compared to control the Galileo group showed significant improvements in balance parameters of up to +23% after only 9 sessions over a period of 3 weeks…

Galileo Research Facts No. 144: Can 3 weeks of Galileo Therapy improve balance in COPD patients?

This study documented the effects of Galileo Therapy on Balance and muscle function in COPD patients. Both groups received endurance training (15 min.) + strength training (50 Min) 5/week, as well as additional 4*2 min. squatting exercises with or without Galileo (24-26Hz, pos. 2.5, 3/week, 3 weeks). The Galileo group showed significantly higher effects on Balance with improvements of up to 28% (e.g. semi-tandem stance, eyes closed)…

Galileo Research Facts No. 124: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle force and endurance in COPD-patients?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy in COPD patients. (6-24Hz, 3*3 min., progressive, 150° squat, pos.2-3, 2/week, 3 months, +15 min. warmup+cool-down). The control group received Calisthenics exercises (2*30 min./week). While the control group did not show any significant changes that Galileo group showed highly significant improvements in muscle force and endurance with up to +38% (leg press, 1RM)…

Galileo Research Facts No. 120: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle and lung function in Cystic Fibrosis patients?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on lung and muscle function of adult Cystic Fibrosis patients (age 24-47, 20-25Hz, pos. 1, 10*3 min./week, 3 months). The results showed that Galileo Therapy could significantly improve lung function (+5%) and muscle function e.g. in the chair rising test (CRT) in muscle power (+16%) and muscle force (+34%)…

Galileo Research Facts No. 107: Can 3 weeks of Galileo Therapy improve power and endurance in COPD patients?

This pilot study examined the effects of 3 weeks of Galileo Therapy on muscle power and endurance measured by 6 minutes walk test in COPD in-patients. (25Hz, squat, 4*2 min. 5/week, 3 weeks). The control group received identical therapy without Galileo. The Galileo group showed a highly significant improvement in the walking distance by 23% or 68m which is equivalent to over two times the MCID…

Galileo Research Facts No. 31: Can Galileo Therapy be used to increase muscle power even after lung transplant?

This study tested the effects of Galileo Therapy in COPD patients after a lung transplant on muscle function and muscle power (24-26Hz, pos. 3, squats, 3×2 Min., 3/week, 4 weeks). Both groups received conventional strength and endurance training (30 Minutes per session) and additionally 3×2 minutes squat exercises with and without Galileo. The Galileo group showed significantly higher therapy effects of up to extra 150%…
