Implementing a contextually appropriate foot-ankle exercise programme in primary care for the prevention of modifiable risk factors for ulcers in people with diabetes: protocol for a hybrid type 2 study.

Introduction: Diabetes is a highly prevalent disease that negatively impacts people's health and quality of life. It can result in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and foot complications, which in turn lead to ulcers and amputations. The international guidelines on diabetic foot included specific foot-ankle exercises as preventive strategy capable of modifying the risk factors for ulcers.
