This study is looking at whether non-weight bearing exercise can help diabetic foot ulcers heal faster than standard care alone. If you have Type 2 diabetes and a foot ulcer, you might be able to join. Researchers want to see if this exercise improves blood flow to the ulcer and your body's metabolism. The main goal is to measure changes in your wound size and depth after 6 weeks. This study is currently recruiting about 40 participants, but the exact status is unclear.

Study design

This is a randomized clinical trial, meaning you would be randomly assigned to either receive non-weight bearing exercise plus standard wound care, or standard wound care alone. Approximately 40 people are expected to participate.

What's involved

You would have 7 study visits at the University of Michigan over a 6-week period. This includes a screening visit, and if assigned to the exercise group, exercising on a non-weight bearing device three days a week for 6 weeks.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your wound size and depth will be measured at 6 weeks after starting the study.
