This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether structured exercise can help people with diabetic foot ulcers heal better and improve their overall fitness while they're receiving wound care. You would be randomly assigned to one of three groups: one doing upper body and core exercises, one doing a combination of upper body and modified lower body exercises (all without putting weight on the injured foot), or a control group receiving standard wound care alone. The study wants to see if staying active during ulcer treatment helps both the wound heal faster and strengthens your cardiovascular system.
People with diabetic foot ulcers often have to stay inactive during treatment, which can weaken their heart, lungs, and overall fitness. This trial is exploring whether safe, structured exercise during this time can help wounds heal better while also preventing the decline in fitness that typically happens when people are unable to move around normally.

If you join this study, you'll be randomly assigned to one of three groups. You'll either do structured upper body exercises, a combination of upper body and modified lower body exercises (both keeping weight off your injured foot), or receive standard wound care without added exercise. The exercise sessions are designed to be safe while your ulcer heals, and you'll be monitored to track changes in your fitness, wound healing, and overall health throughout the study.
