Galileo Research Facts No. 49: Can 4 minutes of Galileo Therapy per week increase balance and gait Parameters?

This study tested the effect of a gait training with and without Galileo Therapy on balance and gait parameters in elderly ladies (12-20Hz, 4 min., 1/week, 2 months). Both groups received a special balance and gait training (2 times 30 min./week). With only 4 minutes additional therapy time per week the Galileo group showed significantly higher therapy effects on gait parameters (+10%) and balance (+88%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 48: Can Galileo Therapy increase bone mass and decrease fracture risk?

This study compared Galileo Therapy vs. an one hour walking training (12,5Hz, pos. 3 , 60° bent knees, 6*1 min./day, 3/week, 8 months). The control group received a walking training (60 min.) + stretching exercises. The control group could not prevent bone loss. The Galileo Group could increase bone mass by more than 2% in the Ward-region even up to 6% and increase balance parameters by more than 25%...
