Three different groups where compared: a control group without any intervention, the Galileo group and a simulation group receiving identical exercises as the Galileo group but without vibration. The Galileo group received over a period of 16 weeks, 3 times per week, 5 to 10 times 1 minute Galileo Therapy with 1 minute breaks (20\u00b0 slight squat, position 1-2, 26Hz).  <\/p>\n<p>The results showed only for the Galileo Group a significant increase in the tested muscle function parameters like +6% walking distance (10 minutes walking test, 10mWT), +7% performance in the timed up and go test (TUG) and +14% in tandem walk test (dynamic balance). Considering that all parameters significantly decreased at least the same or even multiples of this amount in both control groups &#8211; which means that in the observation period both control groups massively lost muscle function &#8211; this shows how effective Galileo Therapy can be used especially also in the frail elderly. <\/p>\n<p>These results are in line with other Galileo studies for example targeting improving bone mass (#<a href=\"https:\/\/stratec-med.com\/en\/grfs\/galileo-research-facts-no-48-can-galileo-therapy-increase-bone-mass-and-decrease-fracture-risk\/\">GRFS48<\/a>, #<a href=\"https:\/\/stratec-med.com\/en\/grfs\/galileo-research-facts-no-156-can-galileo-therapy-increase-bone-mass\/\">GRFS156<\/a>, #<a href=\"https:\/\/stratec-med.com\/en\/grfs\/galileo-research-facts-no-76-can-galileo-therapy-increase-bone-density-at-spine-and-hip\/\">GRFS76<\/a>), muscle power\/performance (#<a href=\"https:\/\/stratec-med.com\/en\/grfs\/galileo-research-facts-no-26-can-galileo-training-improve-muscle-power-significantly-even-in-the-aged\/\">GRFS26<\/a>, #<a href=\"https:\/\/stratec-med.com\/en\/grfs\/galileo-research-facts-no-55-can-galileo-therapy-decrease-hba1c-long-term-blood-sugar-level-and-improve-balance-and-power-as-well\/\">GRFS55<\/a>), decrease fall risk (#<a href=\"https:\/\/stratec-med.com\/en\/grfs\/galileo-research-facts-no-53-can-8-weeks-of-galileo-therapy-at-age-80-decrease-fall-risk-and-improve-quality-of-life\/\">GRFS53<\/a>) or balance &amp; gate parameter (#<a href=\"https:\/\/stratec-med.com\/en\/grfs\/galileo-research-facts-no-49-can-4-minutes-of-galileo-therapy-per-week-increase-balance-and-gait-parameters\/\">GRFS49<\/a>). ).
