Galileo® in geriatrics
"Use it or lose it". This statement is true for all ages when it comes to the preservation of physical performance adn the corresponding positive effects on health. With increasing age, especially, muscle weakness and loss of balance and coordination becomes apparent and may cause falls. To prevent this dramatic event, or to keep its impact as low as possible, Galileo has been used successfully for years in geriatrics.
Posibel fields of application don't only include the classic treatment or prevention of Osteoporosis but also diseases caused by loss of muscle mass and especially muscle function like Frailty, Sarcopenia nad Dynapenia.
