High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Galileo (in the US also available as Vibraflex) is a brand of vibration training platforms used as exercise equipment as well as for therapeutic use. It consists of a vibration platform which vibrates sinusoidal side alternating like a see-saw. Depending on the device size it oscillates with an amplitude of up to 6 mm (equivalent to a peak to peak distance of 12 mm) and a frequency of 5 Hz to 30 Hz (5 to 30 repetitions per second). Due to its high amplitudes and vibration frequencies above 12 Hz it is able to utilize stretch reflexes. Galileo is manufactured in Germany by the German company Novotec Medical GmbH. Since 2002 Galileo is also available as a medical device.
