This clinical trial was just registered: ULCERS – Electrical Stimulation in Diabetic Foot Ulceration Quote: The investigators hypothesise that use of a medical device, that increases blood flow to the foot, will speed up ulcer healing in symptomatic diabetes Quote: The device to be tested mimics the effect of walking by making the foot twitch- it increases blood flow to the limb and exercises the leg muscles. It is hypothesised that increasing blood flow to the limb, much as surgical revascularisation, will aid the legs ability to heal and fight infection. After training, it can be used by patients on themselves and is suitable for out-patient therapy.
