This study is looking at how a structured exercise program, given through a medically supervised cardiac rehabilitation program, affects the healing of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). You may be able to join if you have type 2 diabetes, are between 20 and 80 years old, and have a DFU that is WIfI Grade 2 or less (a system for classifying wound severity). Your blood sugar levels (HbA1c and blood glucose) and ankle-brachial index (ABI) or toe pressure (TcPO2) will also be checked. The main goal is to see if exercise helps wounds close faster, specifically by measuring the time it takes for the wound to heal completely. The study aims to enroll 60 participants.

Study design

This study uses a two-group design where 60 volunteers will be randomly assigned to either receive standard wound care or standard wound care plus a structured exercise program.

What's involved

If you are in the exercise group, you will participate in 2-3 exercise sessions per week over a 12-week period. All participants will continue to receive their regularly scheduled standard wound care.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Wound healing time is measured at 12 weeks or less, indicating follow-up during this period.
