The Effect of Exercise on Wound Healing While Off-loading

NCT04280016 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study seeks to establish the effect of adding exercise to off-loading interventions on the healing time for people with diabetes mellitus and a foot ulcer. Hypothesis: Consistent with the literature, results are expected to resemble the accelerated healing seen when older adults exercised in the presence of wounds.

Conditions

  • Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise

Participants will participate in an exercise session with non-weight-bearing exercise that the participant is able to perform with off-loading (e.g. total contact cast) intact. They will also be instructed in a home exercise program so that exercise can be performed three days per week with no more than two days between sessions. These participants will also receive standard wound care with off-loading.
