| electromagnetic field and a plantar resistance exercise | Combination Product | Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy applied with intensity equal to 3mt and frequency of magnetic field impulses equal to 4 Hz. a plantar resistance exercise therapy by the StepIt rocker pedal, the overall exercise program will be to exercise on the pedal with the index leg for 1 min - then rest it for 1min - and to repeat this 10 times (20 minutes). This regime will be done twice daily (e.g .morning and evening). |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Ulcer surface area | Ulcer surface (UAS) would be calculated by placing a piece of sterilized transparency film over the ulcer and tracing the ulcer perimeter on the film with fine tipped transparency marker. | two months |
| Ulcer volume measurement | Ulcer volume : The ulcer would be traced on transparent paper and placed over the metric graph paper to have the longest length and width.
| two months |
| Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) | Categorize the ulcer with respect to surface area, exudate, and type of wound tissue | two months |
