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 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.
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 study tests if special diabetic recovery shoes and an AI-guided exercise program can help people with diabetes who are receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It's designed for those who can walk a little and have only minor toe loss.
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.
