Research on Galileo vibration training in relation to rehabilitation, geriatrics and medical complaints
Sports Rehabilitation
- Galileo training is more effective than traditional rehabilitation after ACL surgery
Rehabilitation Training now appears to be more effective than other rehabilitation training. This was concluded by drs Kombrink based on his research at the University of Berlin. Read here the whole thesis. (see also the report "news").

Elderly / osteoporosis
- Galileo training is effective in the elderly and people with osteoporosis
Three months training on the Galileo by a group of elderly and postmenopausal women showed a significant improvement in speed of movement and balance. In postmenopausal women also the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) was measured. The BMD was higher in the training group and decreased in the control group. The study was conducted in 2006 by Dr. K. Leung at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and presented at the International Symposium on Vibration Therapy, 9-10 December 2006.
- Four minutes a week adding Galileo to your current training program significantly improves the mobility
That is the conclusion of a Japanese research team, published in the "Keio Journal of Medicine (link). This is the 2nd publication showing that addition of such a short Galileo training with older people is already effective. With other 'vibrating plates', programs of 20 minutes are used. By using the unique frequencies and movement of Galileo, it can be harnessed within the physiotherapy training in elderly centers, with often only a few minutes per week available for support.
- Galileo training improves balance, bone strength and reduces BMI
A recently appeared publication shows again that a short training Galileo is very effective. The effects of 6 x 1 minute Galileo training at a frequency of 12.6 Hz were better than each time 1 hour walking. After 8 months the bone quality has risen 4.3%, the balance even 29% and the BMI fell by 3%. The researchers point out that these effects apply only to equipment with a tilting Vibration system. The Galileo is the only device with such an operation.
- Galileo training improves balance of elderly people
Galileo Vibration training improves (1-legged) balance of the elderly. An average improvement of 45% was observed compared with the placebo group and control group. Dr. Sven Rees of the University of Technology in Sydney (Australia) presented his results at the ASSESS Congress in September 2006. He concludes that Galileo vibration training is of great value, especially with people with impaired balance, such as many elderly. Click here for the summary of the publication.

- Only Galileo training increases the impact of stress incontinence training, training with other vibrating plates is not effective
Scientific studies have shown that Galileo training improves the effectiveness of physiotherapy training for stress incontinence (from 50 to 80 %). Training with a vertical vibration plate in combination with physiotherapy training gave no better results.

This is the conclusion of the research at the university of Berlin, published in the Journal of Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions of june 2008. Click here for the publication.
- Galileo training reduces arterial stiffness and could thereby decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease
An increased arterial stiffness is a cardiovascular risk factor. A study of these effects was published in the scientific journal Acta Physiologica in April 2008.

- Galileo training improves the mobility of young people and adults with disabilities
Successful improvement of mobility and function in adults and children with disabilities can be achieved through training on the Galileo. After positive experiences, the first publication on this subject is a fact (read more ...)
- Galileo helps with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
The benefits of Galileo has been scientifically proven therapy in CFS. Dr. Saggini of the University of Chieti (Italy) has demonstrated that this unique form of therapy (sessions every other day, 8 minutes per session) leads to significant improvements in strength and wellbeing in the CVS group. The VAS scores - a test that measures the level of complaints - shows an improvement of 9.5 grade (poor) to 3 (good) for fatigue, myalgia, mood, quality of life and employment.

First results of the Berlin Bedrest Study are available: the muscle vibration training with the 'Galileo Space' is the most efficient of all training forms that have been tested in space-medical studies with ESA (European Space Agency).
Even 5-10 minutes training per day were enough to largely prevent muscle- and bone atrophy, as occurs in weightlessness during long-term space flights.
