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. 174: Can Galileo Therapy in COPD improve Balance more than Balance Training?

This study compared the effects of Galileo Therapy on balance in COPD patients (age 50-80) compared to traditional balance training. Galileo group: 4 exercises, 2x1min each, 5-26Hz, Pos.2-3, 3 weeks, 3/week, Controls: identical exercises on balance pad. Compared to control the Galileo group showed significant improvements in balance parameters of up to +23% after only 9 sessions over a period of 3 weeks...

Galileo Research Facts No. 173: Can Galileo Training increase Oxygen uptake compared to traditional exercises?

This study investigated the effects of squats and heel raises with extra loads on muscle function and cross-section with and without Galileo Training at 40Hz (20-40Hz, pos. 3-4, loads 80% 1RM (80kg), 3x8 squats (4 sec.), 3x12 heel raises, 6 weeks, 16 Sessions). The Galileo group showed with 5-12% lower additional training mass a significantly higher oxygen uptake (+15%) and therefore a higher training efficiency...

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. 171: Can Galileo Therapy improve walking distance in kids with CP GMFCS level 1 & 2?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy in Cerebral Palsy (CP, GMFCS 1&2, age 5-9) (Cologne Concept: 3x3 minutes, 10 session/week, 26 weeks) on walking distance (1MWT). Galileo Therapy showed a significant increase after 6 months (+17%) while there was no further increase in the following 6 months without Galileo but with individual standard therapy...

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%...
