Smartboot study
We are a team of clinician researchers comparing 3 types of offloading boots for people with diabetic foot ulcers.
We want to know:
1) how to help people wear these boots &
2) how much activity people should have when wearing these boots.
Sponsored by the
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Interested?
You may be eligible to participate if you:
How the study works
You would be randomized to 1 of 3 groups and wear your assigned offloading boot for 12 weeks. The full study, including phone follow-ups, would be 52 weeks.
Groups:
1) You cannot remove your boot
2) You can remove your boot
3) You can remove your boot & will receive a smartwatch that provides feedback
