Exercise for better mobility after diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a home-based or center-based exercise program can help you move better after a diabetic foot ulcer has healed. You'll do exercises and use a smart mat to track your progress, with the goal of improving your mobility and preventing future ulcers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 50 years old.
- You must have diabetes.
- You must have had a foot ulcer (sore) on the bottom of your foot that healed within the last 3 to 15 months.
- You need to have both feet, although healed amputations of the front or middle part of the foot are okay.
- You must be able to walk without a walker (a cane is fine).
- You must be willing to wear proper shoes for exercise and use the PODIMETRICS SmartMat program (a special mat that measures your steps and pressure).

This study tests whether an exercise program can help wounds (ulcers) heal faster in people with diabetic foot ulcers. It mainly looks for adults with type 2 diabetes and enough blood flow to the foot, and checks safety and healing progress.
This trial tests a home exercise program delivered by video to help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It's designed for people who can walk on their own and have a relatively new ulcer.
This study tests whether special diabetic shoes and a structured exercise program, guided by artificial intelligence, can improve your recovery. You will need to follow the exercise plan at home using an internet-connected device.
This trial compares two exercise programs for people with diabetic foot ulcers: one that uses only upper body exercises and one that combines upper body with non-weight bearing lower body exercises. The goal is to see which approach helps healing while keeping weight off the foot.
This trial studies whether a special “smart boot” can help people with diabetic foot ulcers rest (offload) the affected foot as they should. Better offloading may improve healing by reducing pressure on the wound.
This trial tests whether a lifestyle program can help people with diabetes avoid new foot ulcers. If you've healed from a foot ulcer in the last year, you may be able to join.
