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. 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. 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%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 147: Can Galileo Training compensate the effects of bedrest on the Bone Marrow Fat-Fraction?

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). Compared to both control groups, the Galileo group showed a decrease in vertebra bone marrow fat fraction and in increase in number of red blood cells - both are related to increased endurance...

Galileo Research Facts No. 145: Can Galileo Training compensate negative vascular effects of bedrest?

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). While the control groups showed significant decrease in vascular parameters like dilator capacity or vascular diameter, the Galileo Group could even improve some of them (Vascular Stiffness)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 144: Can 3 weeks of Galileo Therapy improve balance in COPD patients?

This study documented the effects of Galileo Therapy on Balance and muscle function in COPD patients. Both groups received endurance training (15 min.) + strength training (50 Min) 5/week, as well as additional 4*2 min. squatting exercises with or without Galileo (24-26Hz, pos. 2.5, 3/week, 3 weeks). The Galileo group showed significantly higher effects on Balance with improvements of up to 28% (e.g. semi-tandem stance, eyes closed)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 142: Can Galileo Therapy improve bone parameters in Pompe disease patients?

This pilot study documented effects of Galileo Therapy on bone architecture in patients with pope disease (20Hz, pos. 2, 4 Min., 3/week, 15 weeks). One of the patients was ambulatory the other wheel-chair bound. Both patients showed improvements, however the effects where much more pronounced in the wheel-chair bound patient with improvements of trabecular bone density of 12% and in trabecular number of 23%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 140: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle force and decrease fall-risk in young obese?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on muscle force and fall-risk in young obese patients (26Hz, pos. 2, 20° squat, 5x60s., 3/week, 6 weeks). The control group performed identical exercises without Galileo. The Galileo group showed significantly higher effects than the control group for example on muscle strength (extensor torque increase by +6%) as well as reduction of fall-risk and fall-rate by -68%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 138: Can Galileo Therapy decrease the development of Scoliosis?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on the development of Scoliosis. The control group received Schroth-therapy (daily home-based + 2/week physiotherapy). The Galileo group only received Galileo Therapy (4 exercises, 4*3 min., 10-15Hz, 5/week, 6 months). Compared to the control group the Galileo group showed a significant decrease in the scoliosis extent (Cobb-angle) by up to 6% (2.5°)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 136: Can Galileo Therapy improve quality of life (QOL) in Fibromyalgia patients?

This study reported the effects of Galileo Therapy on health related quality of life (HRQOL) in Fibromyalgia patients (12.5Hz, 6x30-60s., 3/week, 12 weeks). Both groups received additional standard therapy, the Galileo group additional Galileo Therapy. While the control groups showed a decrease in health related quality of life (FIQ) by up to 7% the Galileo group showed an improvement with an over-all difference of up to 11%...
