Group I: Exercise Added to Off-loadingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants in this arm will participate in exercise at the healthcare facility one time a week (away from where wound care is provided) and be instructed in a home exercise program that they will be encouraged to perform at least three days per week with no more than two days between sessions.
