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. 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. 113: Can Galileo Training be effective to increase muscle power older people?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Training on muscle power in older community-dwelling adults ager 61 to 77 (15-25Hz, pos. 1, 70° knee-angle, 5*1min., 3/week, 6 weeks, increasing intensity). The control group did not perform any additional training. The Galileo group improved muscle power significantly, measured by the Timed Up & Go Test, (+12%) and using the Sit to Stand Test (+20%)…

Galileo Research Facts No. 112: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle power and balance in MS patients?

This study investigated safety and the effects of Galileo Therapy on muscle power, balance, flexibility and quality of life in MS (Multiple Sclerosis) patients (15-25Hz, pos. 2.5-4.5, 5-8x1min, 3/week, 8weeks, increasing Intensity). The Galileo group showed significant improvements in Balance (+12,8%), Functional Reach Test (+14.2%), muscle power (Timed up and Go, +10%) and FS-36 Mental Health (+9%)…

Galileo Research Facts No. 108: Can Galileo Training improve jump height?

This study documented the effects of Galileo Training on jump height in young individuals (26Hz, pos.3, increasing intensity, extra loading up to 75% body weight, 3-5 min, 2/week, 5.5 months). The control groups received no training (control) or conventional strength-training (conventional). Even though the Galileo group had the shorter training session it showed significantly higher results with up to 17% increase of jump height…

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. 80: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle power in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)?

This study documented the effects of 4 weeks of Galileo Therapy on muscle power and quality of life in patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) (20Hz, pos. 2, 60 minutes, 4/week, 4 weeks). The control group received standard physio-therapy the Galileo group additional Galileo Therapy. The Galileo Group showed significantly higher increase in muscle power (+12%) and in quality of life assessment (+23%)…

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)…
