Galileo Research Facts No. 132: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle power and decrease fall risk in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients?

This pilot study reported the effects of Galileo Therapy on fall risk and muscle power in MS (multiple sclerosis) patients (20Hz, pos. 1.5, slightly flexed legs (20°), 5*1 min., 3/week, 8 weeks). Just 5 minutes Galileo Therapy 3 times per week showed decreased fall-risk and significantly improved balance (+12%), muscle function and muscle Power (+12%) as well as knee torque at flexor (+12) and extensor (15%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 131: Can Galileo Training cause a sustainable improvement of torque at the knee?

This study documented the effects of Galileo Training and concentric, eccentric and isometric knee torque in physical active young women (25Hz, pos.3, 2*5 min., 10° flexed legs, 5/week, 3 weeks). The control group continued their usual weekly training. The Galileo group received Galileo Training only. The Galileo group showed an improvement of knee torque by up to 16%. This effects was sustained even after 3 weeks (+7%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 130 Can Galileo Therapy improve the motoric function in kids with Cerebral Palsy (CP)?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy in children with CP (Cerebral Palsy) and other neuro-muscular conditions within the Cologne therapy concept “auf die Beine” on motoric function and bone mass (10-20Hz, patient individual exercises, 10*15min./week, 6 months + 6 months follow-up). The Galileo Therapy showed an improvement of bone mass by +6,5% and of different aspects of motoric function of up to +35%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 129: Can squats with Galileo Training be more effective for warm-up than without Galileo?

This study documented the effects of Galileo Training in combination with squats on muscle temperature. Dynamic as well as static squats with and without Galileo were tested (26Hz, Pos. 3). The Galileo groups showed significant higher warming-up effects concerning muscle temperature with increases compared to the control group with +43% and +87%, showing that Galileo Training can be very effectively used for warm-up...

Galileo Research Facts No. 128: Can Galileo Therapy improve Gait Parameters in Stroke patients significantly?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy in combination with treadmill therapy on gait parameters in stroke patients (20-30Hz, 4*45sec., 3/week, 6 weeks, 6 different exercises). The control group received treadmill therapy without Galileo (20Min./session). In all reported functional outcome parameters the effects in combination with Galileo Therapy were up to factor 3.25 (+225%) higher than treadmill therapy only...

Galileo Research Facts No. 127: Can Galileo Training during 55 days bedrest improve long-term bone mass at the spine?

In the 2nd Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR2) the effects of Galileo Training against the expected bone loss was tested (55 days, 24Hz, 6x1 min. exhaustive, 3/week). The control groups receive no training or identical training with-out vibration (RE). Galileo showed compared to the control groups increased trabecular bone density at the spine (L1-L3) even 2 years after the active bedrest phase with maximum improvements of up to +12%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 126: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle function and muscle cross-section in Cystic Fibrosis?

This study investigated the effects of 6 months of Galileo Therapy on muscle function and cross-section in Cystic Fibrosis patients (12Hz, 6min., 5/week (flexibility) + 26Hz 3/week (muscle power)). The Galileo group showed in average an improvement in muscle cross-section (+5,5%), muscle function (jump height +6,1%) as well as movement efficiency (decrease of used muscle force -4,3% but increase in muscle power +4,7%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 124: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle force and endurance in COPD-patients?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy in COPD patients. (6-24Hz, 3*3 min., progressive, 150° squat, pos.2-3, 2/week, 3 months, +15 min. warmup+cool-down). The control group received Calisthenics exercises (2*30 min./week). While the control group did not show any significant changes that Galileo group showed highly significant improvements in muscle force and endurance with up to +38% (leg press, 1RM)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 123: Can Galileo Training during squats increase muscle activation with each repetition?

This study investigates the effects of exhaustive squats with and without Galileo Training on muscle activation (EMG) (5*10 Sets deep squats, with & without Galileo Training, 22Hz, pos. 4, extra weight: 10RM = 60% Body mass). Compared to the control group without vibration the Galileo Group could almost triple muscle activation (+196%) during eight repetitions...

Galileo Research Facts No. 122: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle function and muscle mass in OI patients?

This study documented the effects of Galileo Training in children with OI (Osteogenesis Imperfecta) during the Cologne therapy concept “auf die Beine” on muscle function and muscle mass (10-20Hz, patient individual exercises, 10*15min./week, 6 months + 6 months follow-up). The results showed a significant growth corrected increase of muscle mass (+7%), an significant increase of leg force (+7%) and of the GMFM66 (+9%)...
