Brief Summary

The incidence of diabetic foot ulcer recurrence in one year can reach 35%. Plantar foot diabetic foot ulcer is the most frequently diabetic foot ulcer recurrence. The recurrence incidence can occur at least 14 days after the diabetic foot ulcer has healed. Physical activity and exercise are highly recommended for the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers. The study about the form of foot exercise to prevent a diabetic foot ulcer recurrence is still unclear. The major hypothesis was there is an effect of self-structured foot exercise on the plantar foot diabetic ulcer recurrences. The minor hypothesis was (1) The improvement of HbA1c, ABI, diabetic neuropathy examination score, callus, and walking speed can decrease the incidence of plantar foot diabetic ulcer (2) a self-structured foot exercise can decrease the incidence and the speed of incidence plantar doot diabetic ulcer recurrence. Participants were randomized into two groups: Exercise group (n=25) and control group (n=25). The exercise is the combination of flexibility and resistance exercise using a flexible band in 24 weeks. The incidence of plantar diabetic foot ulcers was monitored through the research process.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • The number of plantar foot diabetic ulcer recurrence incidence

    The number of plantar foot diabetic ulcer recurrence incidence after healing of the last plantar foot diabetic ulcer at least 1 month. The measurement of diabetic foot ulcer by the specialist doctor using Wagner diabetic ulcer classification

    up to 12 weeks

  • The number of plantar foot diabetic ulcer recurrence incidence

    The number of plantar foot diabetic ulcer recurrence incidence after healing of the last plantar foot diabetic ulcer at least 1 month. The measurement of diabetic foot ulcer by the specialist doctor using Wagner diabetic ulcer classification

    up to 24 weeks

  • The time of plantar foot diabetic ulcer recurrence incidence

    The time of plantar foot diabetic ulcer recurrence incidence is found after healing of the last plantar foot diabetic ulcer at least 1 month.

    up to 24 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • change of ankle brachial index (ABI)

    from the date of assignment until the date of plantar foot diabetic ulcer recurrence found, whichever comes first, assessed up to 12 weeks and 24 weeks

  • change of HbA1c level

Study Arms (2)

Intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

The group received training in self-structured foot exercise and they were encouraged to do self-structure foot exercise 3 times a week. They received usual care

Other: self-structured foot exercise

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

the group received usual care

Interventions

The exercise was done 3 times a week (15x/until they tired x 2set). The exercise used a flexible band with difference thickness (0,5 mm in the first 12 weeks and 0,65 mm in the second 12 weeks)

Also known as: foot exercise, flexibility and resistance foot exercise
Intervention group
