Galileo Research Facts No. 94: Can Galileo Therapy improve the disability status of MS patients?

This study investigated the effects of 8 weeks of Galileo Therapy on different disease related scores (PDDS, MSCF) in MS (Multiple Sclerosis) patients (20Hz, pos. 1.5, 5*1 min., 3/week, 8 weeks, 20° bent legs). The results show not only improvements in PDDS and PSAT-3 by up to 18% but also an increase in HSFC (MS Functional Composite: walking distance, hand function, calculation test) in average by 0.36SD...

Galileo Research Facts No. 93: Can 5*10 min./week Galileo Training prevent loss of muscle function during 55 days bedrest?

During the 1st Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR) individuals had to stay in bed for 55 days completely. The control group did no training at all, the Galileo group received 10 Min., 5 days/week 12-26Hz of intense Galileo Training while in bed. The Galileo group could prevent loss of muscle function almost completely while the control group lost muscle function by up to 28%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 92: Can frequent Galileo Training improve the immune system?

During the 2nd Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR2) the participants had to stay in bed for 55 days. The control group received no intervention at all, the Galileo Training group did resistance exercise + vibration (24Hz, 6x1 min. to exhaustion, 3/week). The control group showed a decrease in immune system (increased inflammation markers decreased immune competence & function) while the Galileo group improved the immune system...

Galileo Research Facts No. 91: Can Galileo Therapy decrease Creatine Kinase levels in Duchenne (DMD) patients?

This study shows the effect of Galileo Therapy on Creatine Kinase (CK) levels in Duchenne Patients (5-20Hz, 2*1 to 2*2 min., 3/week, 12 weeks). Over a period of 3 months the CK levels dropped essentially by 98% and increases again after the end of the therapy period. CK is believed to indicate the amount of muscle fiber damage due to extensive muscle activity and therefore should be kept low in Duchenne patients...

Galileo Research Facts No. 90: Can Galileo Training decrease Creatine Kinase levels during bedrest?

During the 2nd Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR2) the participants had to stay in bed for 55 days. The control group did no training at all, the Galileo group did resistance training + vibration (24Hz, 6x1 min. to exhaustion, 3/week). The Galileo group decreased CK levels to the same values ad the passive control group but received even better training results than the resistance training group which showed the highest CK levels in bedrest...

Galileo Research Facts No. 88: Can Galileo Therapy improve balance and muscle function in Parkinson’s patients?

This study documented the effects of Galileo Therapy on muscle function and balance in Parkinson’s patients (25 Hz, pos. 3-5, 2x15 min/day, 3 weeks). Both groups received 40 min. 5/week physio therapy (relaxation, stretching, body perception), one group received additional Galileo Therapy. The Galileo group showed significant improvements in 10 min. gait distance and massive improvements in balance up to 33%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 85: Can Galileo Therapy after ACL reconstruction be more efficient than traditional therapy?

This study shows the efficiency of Galileo Therapy after an ACL reconstruction compared to conventional physio-therapy (15-30Hz, 20min, 4week, 9 weeks, squat +10% 1RM load). The control group received conventional therapy with 85 min/session the Galileo group received only 40 min/session. The Galileo group showed with less than half the time higher therapy results which equals to +150% efficiency...

Galileo Research Facts No. 84: Can Galileo Therapy improve trunk control in stroke patients?

This study shows the effects of Galileo Therapy on trunk control (sitting balance) in stroke patients (15-22Hz, pos.1-4, 4*3 minutes, 5/week, 4 weeks, ‘functional training’ while sitting, feet on Galileo). The control group received ‘functional training’ (hand and should function) only, the Galileo group performed identical exercises while the feet where vibrated. The Galileo group showed significantly higher improvements of trunk control...

Galileo Research Facts No. 82: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle function and cognition in MS patients?

This study investigated the effects of 8 weeks of Galileo Therapy on the disability status of MS (Multiple Sclerosis) patients (20Hz, pos. 1.5, 5*1 min., 3/week, 8 weeks, 20° bent legs). The results show significant improvements in muscle function, cognition and disability status: +0,4 points motor function & cognition, +8% hand motor function, +14% disability status, +19% calculating & memory +26% gait speed...
