Galileo Research Facts No. 106: Can 8 weeks of Galileo Therapy decrease inflammation markers?

This case study reported the results of Galileo Therapy in a patient with Anti-Jo-1-Syndrome (auto-immune disease) on inflammation markers like CK, IL-8 and TNF-alpha (26Hz, pos. 2, 6*2 min. + 12 Hz, 3min. cool-down, week, 2 months). Additional therapy was not changed during this time. The results show a significant decrease of the inflammation makers CK, IL-8 and TNF-alpha after 8 weeks by up to 61%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 105: Can Galileo Training decrease Spinal Excitability even in micro-gravity?

This study tested the effects of Galileo Training in micro-gravity conditions (parabolic flights). The muscle activation (EMG) and the Spinal Excitability (sensitivity of reflexes reacting on an external stimulus) was assessed with and without Galileo Training (25Hz) in normal gravity (1g) and micro-gravity (micro g). The results prove that Galileo Training can significantly decrease Spinal Excitability even in micro-gravity...

Galileo Research Facts No. 104: Can Galileo Training be used in space?

This study tested the feasibility of Galileo Training in micro-gravity conditions as well as the effects on Microgravity on Galileo Training effects. The EMG activity was assessed with and without Galileo Training in Combination with normal gravity as well as micro gravity. The results show that the effects of Galileo Training on EMG activation is not significantly altered by micro-gravity and that Galileo is feasible under micro gravity...

Galileo Research Facts No. 103: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle mass and bone 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 and bone mass (10-20Hz, patient individual exercises, 10*15min./week, 6 months + 6 months follow-up). The results show a growth effect corrected significant increase in muscle mass (legs up to 14%) and bone mass (leg up to 31%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 102: Can Galileo Therapy improve balance in Fibromyalgia patients?

This study investigates the effects of Galileo Therapy on balance in Fibromyalgia patients (12,5Hz, 6* 30-60sec., 3/week, 12 weeks). Both groups received standard physiotherapy. The control group received no additional therapy. While the control group decreased in many tested parameters of balance ability by up to 20% the Galileo Therapy group improved by up to 47%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 101: Does Galileo Training trigger a stretch-reflex with each upwards movement of the platform?
Common, GRFS

Galileo Research Facts No. 101: Does Galileo Training trigger a stretch-reflex with each upwards movement of the platform?

This study proved that Galileo Training triggers a stretch reflex with each upwards movement of the platform. It also proved that the EMG signal corresponding to the vibration frequency is not a motion artifact but an actual activation of the corresponding muscle. The measured latency is therefore not dependent on the vibration frequency but on the individual and is identical with the latency caused by one single tilt movement...

Galileo Research Facts No. 100: Can squats in combination with Galileo Training be even more effective?

This study proved that Galileo Training triggers a stretch reflex with each upwards movement of the platform. It also proved that the EMG signal corresponding to the vibration frequency is not a motion artifact but an actual activation of the corresponding muscle. The measured latency is therefore not dependent on the vibration frequency but on the individual and is identical with the latency caused by one single tilt movement...

Galileo Research Facts No. 98: Can Galileo Therapy at work decrease subjective back pain?

This study documented the effects of workplace-based Galileo Therapy on subjective back pain in individuals with chronic lower-back pain (10-30Hz, slightly bent legs, pos. 1-3, 15 min., 2-3/weeks, 3 months). The control group received no therapy. While the control group slightly decreased the Galileo Therapy group improved by up to 4.5% and showed a tendency to decrease days of sick-leave per month...

Galileo Research Facts No. 97: Can Galileo Training at higher frequencies improve balance and flexibility in the elderly?

This study showed the effects of Galileo Training on balance and flexibility in elderly women (66-78) with increased fall-risk (20Hz, pos. 2, standing, 3 min., 3/week, 3 months). The control group did not train at all. The control group showed significant improvements in balance (+20%), flexibility (+23%) and movement angular velocity which improved by 54% in average...
