Adapting Lifestyle Offloading for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
This study is testing a new way to help people with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) manage their condition. It uses a lifestyle-based approach led by an occupational therapist, delivered virtually. The goal is to see if this approach is helpful and practical for patients. You might be able to join if you are 21 or older, speak English, have an active DFU that needs offloading (reducing pressure on your foot), can give consent, have internet access for virtual sessions, and can walk on your own or with a device. The study will measure how satisfied patients are with this new intervention. The current recruitment status is unclear.
