Galileo Research Facts No. 175: Do Galileo Therapy effects in the elderly last 6 months after end of intervention?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on functional independence (Barthel Index) in frail elderly (age 74-90) Three groups: Control without intervention, Simulation (identical exercises without Galileo), Galileo group (26Hz, pos. 1-2, 20° squat, 5-10x 1min.,12 weeks, 3/week). Only the Galileo group showed significant improvements of 6% and could maintain them even 6 months after the end of intervention…

Galileo Research Facts No. 172: Can Galileo Therapy increase Muscle Function in Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD)?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on muscle function (6MTW, CRT) in Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD) (Age: 49-75). Galileo group: 30° squat, 3x3min, 26Hz, pos. 2-3, 16 weeks, 3/week, Control: identical exercises without Galileo. The Galileo group showed significant improvements in muscle function in 6MWT (+6%) and CRT (+13%) and at the same time an decrease in the inflammation parameter IL-6 (-33%)…

Galileo Research Facts No. 170: Can Galileo Therapy increase balance and muscle function also in frail elderly?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on muscle function an balance in frail elderly (age 74-90) Three groups: Control without intervention, Simulation (identical exercises without Galileo), Galileo group (26Hz, pos. 1-2, 20° squat, 5-10x 1min.,12 weeks, 3/week). The Galileo group showed significant functional improvements of up to +14% while the other groups showed decrease in all parameters of up to -24%…

Galileo Research Facts No. 169: Can Galileo Therapy improve Muscle Function in Down Syndrome?

This study investigated effects of Galileo Therapy (3×3 min., 20Hz, pos. 2-3, 4/week, 20 weeks) in adolescents with Down Syndrome (age 10-19). The results after 20 weeks showed significant improvements in muscle function in endurance during 6MWT (distance: +12%) as well as movement efficiency (jump: +11%) or power in chair rise test (CRT, power: +15%, duration: -25%) and jump for maximum height (jumping height: +28%)…

Galileo Research Facts No. 168: Is in Parkinson’s regeneration after Galileo Therapy faster than after treadmill therapy?

This study investigated the effects of treadmill therapy and Galileo Therapy in Parkinson’s patients on training intensity (oxygen uptake) as well as regeneration (4 weeks, 4/week: 4×5 min. walking vs. 10×1 Min Galileo, 26Hz, pos. 4, static semi squat). The Galileo group showed increased oxygen uptake (+41%) after 20 minutes but at the same time a significantly decreased regeneration time (EPOC, -37%)…

Galileo Research Facts No. 166: Can Galileo Therapy reduce Cocontraction and Spasticity in Children with CP?

This study investigated short-term effects of Galileo Therapy (16-25Hz, pos. 1,5-3, 1 min., 10° knee angle, fore-foot stance) in children with spastic Cerebral Palsy (CP, GMFCS 2-4, 4-12 Jahre). The results show a massive decrease in cocontraction (26% to 54%) and hence and increase in voluntary muscle activation (#GRFS165). Both effects explain are essential for reduction of Spasticity when using Galileo Therapy…

Galileo Research Facts No. 165: Can Galileo Therapy improve voluntary muscle activation in children with CP?

This study investigated short-term effects of Galileo Therapy (16-25Hz, pos. 1,5-3, 1 min., 10° knee angle, fore-foot stance) in children with spastic Cerebral Palsy (CP, GMFCS 2-4, 4-12 Jahre). The mechanical reflex (-12%), active Range of Motion (+15%) and the voluntary muscle activation (+17, +37%) was measured. The observed significant improvements explain why Galileo Therapy is so effective in Spasticity Management…

Galileo Research Facts No. 159: Can Galileo Therapy be used even under intense Chemotherapy in Leukemia?

This safety study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy during intense chemotherapy in Leukemia. Galileo Therapy was compared to cycling ergometer training (20 min., 18-25Hz, pos. 3-4, 120° squat, 3/week, 2 weeks). The Galileo group showed significant muscle function improvements compared to the ergometer group with in Chair-rise power (+4%), jump height (+12%) as well as timed up & go test (TUG, +19%)…
