Abstract in brief

This study examined whether daily foot exercises, alongside standard wound care, could help heal foot ulcers in people with type 2 diabetes, and found that those who did the exercises showed significantly faster reduction in ulcer size over 12 weeks.
Sixty-five patients with mild to moderate ulcers were randomly assigned to either perform these exercises or just receive regular wound treatment, with measurements taken at 4, 8, and 12 weeks to track healing progress.
Results indicated that patients doing foot exercises experienced a greater decrease in ulcer size by the 4th and 12th weeks compared to their starting point, suggesting that foot exercises may be a helpful addition to diabetic foot ulcer treatment.]
