Effects of a Exercise Program on Health Outcomes in People With Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Diabetic Foot Ulcer, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
In brief
People with diabetes are at risk for life altering complications, including diabetic foot ulcers. To heal a diabetic foot ulcer, people are often required to refrain from bearing weight on their affected limb for months. These long periods of non-weight bearing can result in severe physical deconditioning, putting these individuals at risk for further health decline. The goal of this pilot, randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of a seated exercise program on clinically meaningful outcomes in people with diabetic foot ulcers. The long-term aim of this research is to improve overall health and quality of life in people with complications from diabetes.
