Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
While benefits of physical activity and exercise are clear, the benefit of exercise on wound healing in individuals with diabetes has not been elucidated. It is critical to better understand how prescribed exercise effects the healing speed in patients receiving wound care with appropriate off-loading. If exercise does decrease healing time, the benefit to the patient may include lower cost, decreased risk of infection, decreased burden on a caregiver, and improved quality of life.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Exercise Added to Off-loading
Participants in this arm will participate in exercise at the healthcare facility one time a week (away from where wound care is provided) and be instructed in a home exercise program that they will be encouraged to perform at least three days per week with no more than two days between sessions. Wound care will continue at the facility as is standard, utilizing off-loading.
Exercise
Participants will participate in an exercise session with non-weight-bearing exercise that the participant is able to perform with off-loading (e.g. total contact cast) intact. They will also be instructed in a home exercise program so that exercise can be performed three days per week with no more than two days between sessions. These participants will also receive standard wound care with off-loading.
