Patients were tested before and after the 6 months of Galileo Therapy and after another 6 Months without Galileo Therapy but with the individual standard therapy. Results after 6 months of Galileo Therapy showed significant improvement of muscle function in both tests (+4% and +9,5%). The larger improvements in the HFMS can be explained by the fact that the HFMS is much more specific for the typical functional deficits due to SMA than the more general GMFM-66.   <\/p>\n<p>Interestingly there was no significant improvement in the 6 months after Galileo Therapy but with individual standard therapy, which shows that the observed improvements are in fact due to the Galileo Therapy and that Galileo is in fact a significant benefit for SMA patients. An observation which has been shown in many of the studies of the Cologne working group (#<a
