Galileo Research Facts No. 42: Can Galileo Therapy improve balance, muscle power and quality of life in elderly?

This study shows the effects of Galileo Therapy on muscle function and quality of life in a nursing home community (2×1 min. 10Hz, 2×1 min. 26Hz, 3/week, 6 weeks). Both groups received additional 3*10 min. per week physiotherapy (gait, balance, strength). The Galileo Therapy group showed significantly higher improvements in all tested aspects than the control group (about +40% on average).

Galileo Research Facts No. 41: Is Galileo Therapy + squats more demanding for COPD patients than squats only?

This study tested the effects of Galileo Therapy + squats vs. squats only on the cardiopulmonary response in COPD patients (Stage III+IV) (1-3 min. 90° flexion, dynamic squats, with and without Galileo, 26Hz, pos. 2,5). Exercises including Galileo had a tendency so show an even decreased cardiopulmonary response (less deman-ding) even though they had a significantly higher therapy effect on muscle function and power (#GRFS32, 34)…

Galileo Research Facts No. 37: Can 60 seconds of Galileo Therapy reduce Spinal Excitability significantly?

This study examined the short-term effect of Galileo Therapy on Spinal Excitability which is the sensitivity of the stretch reflex to a defined external stimulus (1 Min., 22Hz, pos. 2, 30° flexed knee). There is an obvious decrease of 60% during the Galileo Therapy and even 10 minutes after the training still a decrease of over 25%. This effect is one of the main reasons why Galileo Therapy is effective in reduction of Spasticity…

Galileo Research Facts No. 34: Can Galileo Therapy increase power in patients with acute COPD exacerbations?

This study tested the effect of Galileo Therapy on muscle function and power in patients with acute COPD (exacerbations) (20Hz, pos. 2, 3*2 min., 5/week, 2-3 weeks, bent knees). Both groups received standard physiotherapy (20 min/day), the Galileo group additional Galileo Therapy (3*2 min.). The Galileo group showed significantly higher results than the reference group with an increase in the 6. min. walking test of 57%…

Galileo Research Facts No. 30: Can Galileo Training in children with Cerebaral Palsy (CP) build up muscle and improve gait within just 8 weeks?

This study showed the effect of Galileo Therapy on muscle thickness and gait parameters in children with CP (Cerebral Palsy) (5-25Hz, pos.1-3, 6 Sets, 3 min. each, 3/week, over 8 week, increasing intensity). Both groups received regular physiotherapy, the control group additional physiotherapy. The conventional physiotherapy however was only able to stabilize conditions while the Galileo group improved significantly in just 8 weeks…
