The Effect of Foot Exercise on Diabetic Patients with Foot Ulcer: An Evidence-Based Case Report

Abstract

Results As the result from data extraction process, only one article was found to satisfy the inclusion criteria. Eraydin et al., found that in 12th week the mean of DFU size in control group decreased 25%, while in intervention group decreased 75% compared to baseline. Significant differences (p=0.000) were found in mean ulcer size in both control and intervention groups between baseline mean ulcer size and 12th weeks mean ulcer size. Conclusion It showed significant benefits of foot exercise despite the short duration of exercise being used as intervention to reduce diabetic foot ulcer area.
