Upper body vs. combined exercise during diabetic foot ulcer treatment
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
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.
