The VibraFlex® Series was designed based on the internationally patented Galileo® technology established in the medical field. This patented technology has been used for the majority of the original research done in the field of whole body vibration training. Others may quote the vibration literature however, results from one system cannot be implied to another since the parameters of vibration can differ. When examining the literature, ensure the research has been conducted on the system under evaluation.
The following Published Articles using our technology are available to download for your review.

Quotes from Literature:
At the termination of exercise, i.e. after about 5 min, the subjects appeared to be quite as exerted by vibration exercise as after 12 min bicycle ergometry.
Considering the comparatively mild cardiovascular and respiratory effects and the marked muscular fatigue, we conclude, that training with Galileo 2000 may be a promising issue in the therapy of bone mineral loss in the elderly.
Fast and easy exercises, 3 times a week during 6 weeks, using a controlled whole body vibrations apparatus, could improve the quality of life, the walk, the balance and the motor capacity in elderly patients.Reflex muscular contractions induced by vibration training improve muscle power in postmenopausal women. Results indicate that strength training with the Galileo leads to a slight decrease of bone strength after 3 month followed by a strong increase of bone strength after 6 months.These results further substantiate the view that whole body vibration exercise enhances muscular metabolic power, and thus muscular activity.Muscle stimulation by vibration training improves the subjective and objective parameters of stress urinary incontinence. The combination of vibration training and physical therapy turned out to be highly effective and thus represents a genuine therapeutic option for patients with stress urinary incontinence.This would indicate that this type of treatment (whole body vibration) is able to stimulate the neuromuscular system more than other treatments used to improve neuromuscular properties.The training was also able to amplify each test person's 1RM. The strength-training group had an increase of 19.4% and the Galileo group of 27.0%.Whole body vibration represents a promising modality for use in the rehabilitation of persons with motor dysfunction of spinal origin. In our sample, whole body vibration successfully induced reflex standing in all 3 patients and standing was followed by ambulation in 2 cases.It was suggested that the effect of whole body vibration elicited a fast biological adaptation associated with neural potentiation.
