This study utilizes one of the principles of Galileo stimulation: Streck reflexes are only activated in a pre-tensed (pre-activated) muscle. In normal application during standing this is achieved by any muscles working against gravity supporting our body \u2013 all muscle in the body which are pre-activated and the vibration is transmitted to will respond with stretch-reflex based activation. However, this pre-activation can also achieved using external forces \u2013 e.g. by pulling or pushing from the outside (by using a thera-band) \u2013 or alternatively by using sub-maximum electro stimulation (e-Stim). The important point is using a sub-maximum e-stim intensity, since the main muscle activation should be triggered by the Galileo vibration using the closed muscle loop and physiological activation patterns. <\/p>\n

This study observed this effect indirectly by monitoring the blood-flow (caused by increased muscle activation) during Galileo Therapy, electro-stimulation (ES) and Galileo Therapy + electro-stimulation (Galileo + ES) for spinal cord injury (SCI) patients (sitting in front of Galileo, 10Hz, pos. 2.5). As a result Galileo Therapy showed the largest effect (130% increase of blood-flow) which can be improved further in combination with ES to up to 250%. <\/p>\n

This is a quite interesting result not only for SCI Patients where e-stim might be the only option to address some muscle-groups but also for the general combination of e-stim and Galileo Therapy.<\/p>\n
