In addition, the Galileo Group and the control group receive standard physiotherapy 3 times 10 minutes per week focusing on gait, balance and strength. While the Galileo group showed significant improvements of in average 40% in all tested aspects like muscle function (gait, timed up and go, balance) or quality of life (pain, social interaction) the control group even showed moderate negative effects. <\/p>\n<p>This general improvement of neuromuscular function is one of the reasons why Galileo Therapy can decrease fall and fracture risk (#<a href=\"https:\/\/stratec-med.com\/wissenswertes\/grfs48-kann-galileo-therapie-knochen-aufbauen-und-das-frakturrisiko-reduzieren\/\">GRFS48<\/a>, #<a href=\"https:\/\/stratec-med.com\/wissenswertes\/grfs53-konnen-8-wochen-galileo-therapie-bei-80-jahrigen-das-sturzrisiko-reduzieren\/\">GRFS53<\/a>, #<a href=\"https:\/\/stratec-med.com\/en\/grfs\/galileo-research-facts-no-27-can-galileo-training-reduce-back-pain-and-fall-risk-at-the-same-time\/\">GRFS27<\/a>, #<a href=\"https:\/\/stratec-med.com\/wissenswertes\/grfs132-kann-galileo-therapy-bei-multiple-sklerose-ms-patienten-das-sturzrisiko-reduzieren-und-die-leistung-steigern\/\">GRFS132<\/a>) and why it can compensate bone loss (#<a href=\"https:\/\/stratec-med.com\/wissenswertes\/grfs76-kann-galileo-therapie-die-knochendichte-an-hufte-und-wirbelsaule-verbessern\/\">GRFS76<\/a>).
