Application of Galileo in Geriatrics
A good muscle function forms the foundation for a healthy and fit body and good mobility. This certainly applies to the elderly. Due to physical limitations and (pain) complaints it is particularly hard for this group to follow the right exercise program in order to keep the individual health and fitness leveled.
Accessible, safe en effective
With the arrival of the Galileo vibration devices this possibility does exist. The Galileo is namely very accessible, easy to operate, safe and effective. It had even been shown that specific effects can only be reached with the Galileo. And even for very low dutiable people and people in a wheelchair, Galileo training can be easily performed.
Galileo training improves:
• muscular strength
• coördination and balance
• mobility
• blood circulation and metabolism
• overall fitness
Galileo training also leads to diminishing of:
• stress incontinence
• osteoporosis or osteopenia
Smaller risk of falling
Galileo training works effectively on muscle strength, balance and bone quality and hereby reduces the risk of falling and getting a fracture in elderly.
As people grow older the risk of falling and getting bone fractures as a result increases. Almost 90% of all fractures in elderly, which is mostly hip and wrist fractures, is caused by falling. A group that is especially vulnerable because of the decrease in bone strength is that of patients who suffer from osteoporosis.
Fractures, especially hip fractures, often have severe consequences. Around 20% of the elderly who have suffered from a hip fracture passes away within a year after the fracture. 20 to 25% becomes disabled and only 55 to 60% fully recovers. Most elderly with a hip fracture can not live independently anymore and have to be admitted to a nursing home or a care home.
Advice
Galileo stimulation has a synergetic effect. The best results are reached when a Galileo training of around 4 minutes is combined with exercises and medication. Galileo training is Medically Certified.
