Summary

The aim of this feasibility study is to evaluate a 12-week exercise intervention in people with an active diabetic foot ulcer through pre-defined research progression criteria (participant recruitment and retention, duration of the collection of outcome measures, adherence to the exercise programme, and adverse events), besides participant and physiotherapist feedback, self-reported outcomes and objective measurements in preparation for a potential future RCT. The primary study hypothesis is that exercise therapy for people with an active diabetic foot ulcer will have high participant recruitment and adherence to treatment and that it does not affect wound healing negatively.
