Galileo Research Facts No. 155: Can Galileo Therapy help COVID-19 patients for therapy and physical rehab?

The WAVex (World Association of Vibration Exercise Experts) Panel recommends the use of Galileo Therapy for COVID-19 patients for therapy and physical rehab. Background for the recommendation are the results of 36 international comparable studies – more than half of them using Galileo devices, including the import ones concerning the use in ICU, COPD, CP, Parkinson and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation...

Galileo Research Facts No. 134: Can Galileo Therapy in Ataxia patients improve blood-flow and muscle activation?

This study investigated the immediate effects of Galileo Therapy with different frequencies and durations on muscle activation (EMG) and blood-flow (Galileo Delta, 45° tilt, 60° knee flexion, pos. 2.5, 10, 20, 30Hz, 1*3 vs. 3*1 min., 6 session/2 weeks). High frequencies (30Hz) during Galileo Delta Therapy showed higher effects on blood-flow (+33%), exertion (96%) and EMG Frequency (55%) compared to lower frequencies (10Hz)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 116: Can high frequency Galileo Therapy improve blood-flow in spinal cord injury?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on blood-flow in spinal cord injury (SCI, ASIA A) patients. They received Galileo Therapy on a Galileo Delta tilt-table (45° tilt, 10-30Hz, pos. 2.5, 60° flexed knees, 3 min., then 2 min. test, blood-flow was measured using ultrasound Doppler). The blood flow improved significantly with increasing frequency and time by up to 54% compared to rest (also at 45° tilt)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 40: Can Galileo Therapy reduce spasticity and increase grip strength in Stroke patients?

This study reports the effects of Galileo Therapy on spasticity (Stretching of hands with Galileo Med S Delta Table, 30 min., 5-15Hz, 3/week, 4 weeks). 3 groups: Std. therapy (60min.), std. therapy + Galileo (30+30min.) Galileo + Task Related Training (TRT) (30+30min.). The Galileo group showed significantly increased results compared to control, the combination of Galileo and TRT further increased effects by an average of 25%...
