Motor-assisted Cycling and FES Cycling for Postprandial Glucose in Diabetic Patients With ADL Disability

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Type2 Diabetes

Behavioral: Motor-assisted cycling
Behavioral: FES cycling
Registration Number
NCT03994289
Lead Sponsor
Arizona State University
Brief Summary

Exercise has been the cornerstone of diabetes management. However, many diabetic patients have ADL disabilities and experience substantial difficulty in performing usual exercises, such as brisk walking and upright cycling. There is an urgent need to provide alternative exercise modalities for diabetic patients with ADL disabilities. In this study, investigators will investigate the effects on the glucose of three exercise modalities, including motor-assisted cycling (i.e., cycling on a motor-driven bike) and functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling, during which the investigators will use electrical current to facilitate cycling movements.
