Galileo Research Facts No. 157: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle function and gait speed in children with Ataxia?

This study shows the effect of Galileo Therapy (Cologne Concept: 3x3 minutes, 10 session/week, 26 weeks) in Ataxia patients (3-14 years, 2 groups: progressive and non-progressive). Both Galileo groups show significant improvements in GRMF66 (+7%), gait speed (+12%), 1MWT (+41%). In the following 6 months with standard therapy there was no additional relevant improvement in the parameters...

Galileo Research Facts No. 156: Can Galileo Therapy increase Bone Mass?

This study investigated possible positive effects of Hypoxia (simulated high-altitude training) on Galileo Therapy for the increase of bone mass in older individuals (age: 65-77). Three groups were used (Control, Galileo with & without Hypoxia, +5min. Ergometer warmup, 12.5Hz, 120° squat, pos. 2, 4x30sec, 2/week, 18 weeks). Both Galileo groups show significant improvements of bone mass compared with the control group...

Galileo Research Facts No. 155: Can Galileo Therapy help COVID-19 patients for therapy and physical rehab?

The WAVex (World Association of Vibration Exercise Experts) Panel recommends the use of Galileo Therapy for COVID-19 patients for therapy and physical rehab. Background for the recommendation are the results of 36 international comparable studies – more than half of them using Galileo devices, including the import ones concerning the use in ICU, COPD, CP, Parkinson and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation...

Galileo Research Facts No. 154: Can Galileo Therapy be used safely for patients in Intensive Care Units (ICU)?

This study investigated effects and safety of Galileo application for mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care unit (UCI) with an expected stay of 7 days. A Galileo Med 15 was mounted directly to the ICU bed (exercises in lying, 3x3 Min., 24Hz, 20° knee flexion). The results showed significant positive muscular and cardiovascular effects and an improved muscle metabolism without negative side-effects...

Galileo Research Facts No. 152: Can Galileo Mano Therapy reduce upper-limb dysfunction during Cancer Radiotherapy?

This study reported the effects of Galileo Mano Therapy on upper-body limb function and mental fatigue (Galileo Mano, 3 types of exercises, 10/18/30Hz, 3x20min./week, 6 weeks). The patients received additional 20 min. of ergometer and balance training each. The result showed improve upper-limb function and increased overall fitness and mental fatigue (+9% Grip Strength, +23% Flexibility, +18% less Mental Fatigue)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 151: Can Galileo Training make squats more efficient and more effective?

This study reported the short-term effects of Galileo Training on muscle activation and exhaustion (26Hz, 90° dynamic squats, Pos. 6, 40% body weight extra load, subjective exhaustion). The control group received identical exercises without Galileo. The Galileo groups showed higher training effects (increase lactate +205% instead of +160%) in significantly shorter time (349s instead of 515s) plus increased muscle activation...

Galileo Research Facts No. 150: Can exhaustive Galileo Therapy be used safely even in heart transplant patients?

This study reported the effects of Galileo Therapy on cardiovascular parameters in patients after heart trans-plant (4 months post and longer) (26Hz, pos. 1.5, 70° squat). All patients received additional cardiovascular exercises on a cycling ergometers (av. Heart-rate 118Hz). The results showed that exhaustive Galileo Therapy even at higher frequencies (26Hz) has only a moderate effect on the cardiovascular system.

Galileo Research Facts No. 149: Can Galileo Training significantly increase force and force development?

This study investigated the short-term effect of Galileo Training on force and force development (26Hz, 40° squat, Pos. 3, 5Min). The control group received identical exercises without Galileo or cycling ergometer (70W). Force and force development during electrostimulation was measured. While both control groups reduced the parameters 5 minutes of Galileo Training could increase force and force development significantly...

Galileo Research Facts No. 148: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle function and gait parameters in Spina Bifida patients?

This study shows the effect of Galileo Therapy (Cologne Concept: 3x3 minutes, 10 session/week, 26 weeks) with Spina Bifida patients (5-13 years). Galileo Therapy not only decreased contractures in Hip and knee extension but also increased abilities in walking (+20%, GMFM-E) and standing (+36%, GMFM-D) as well as gait velocity by +50%...
