Galileo Research Facts No. 116: Can high frequency Galileo Therapy improve blood-flow in spinal cord injury?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on blood-flow in spinal cord injury (SCI, ASIA A) patients. They received Galileo Therapy on a Galileo Delta tilt-table (45° tilt, 10-30Hz, pos. 2.5, 60° flexed knees, 3 min., then 2 min. test, blood-flow was measured using ultrasound Doppler). The blood flow improved significantly with increasing frequency and time by up to 54% compared to rest (also at 45° tilt)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 114: Can Galileo Therapy improve sensory perception in Diabetes Type 2 patients?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on the sensory perception (perception thresholds) in Diabetes Type 2 patients with diagnosed peripheral neuropathy (12Hz, pos. 1-3, 30° bent knees, 11 min., 3/week, 6 weeks). The control group received identical exercises without vibration. Compared to the control group the Galileo group showed a significant improvement of sensory perception by up to 21% (vibration)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 112: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle power and balance in MS patients?

This study investigated safety and the effects of Galileo Therapy on muscle power, balance, flexibility and quality of life in MS (Multiple Sclerosis) patients (15-25Hz, pos. 2.5-4.5, 5-8x1min, 3/week, 8weeks, increasing Intensity). The Galileo group showed significant improvements in Balance (+12,8%), Functional Reach Test (+14.2%), muscle power (Timed up and Go, +10%) and FS-36 Mental Health (+9%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 107: Can 3 weeks of Galileo Therapy improve power and endurance in COPD patients?

This pilot study examined the effects of 3 weeks of Galileo Therapy on muscle power and endurance measured by 6 minutes walk test in COPD in-patients. (25Hz, squat, 4*2 min. 5/week, 3 weeks). The control group received identical therapy without Galileo. The Galileo group showed a highly significant improvement in the walking distance by 23% or 68m which is equivalent to over two times the MCID...

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. 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...
