Effectiveness of Buerger Allen Exercise on Lower Extremity Perfusion and Peripheral Neuropathy Symptoms among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Abstract: The study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of buerger Allen exercise on lower extremity perfusion and peripheral neuropathy symptoms among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of buerger Allen exercise on lower extremity perfusion and peripheral neuropathy symptoms among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to find out the association between lower extremity perfusion and peripheral neuropathy symptoms among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with selected socio demographic variables. Methodology: The study was conducted among 68 patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus between the age group of 40 and 70 from both genders. Subjects were selected using a convenient sampling technique from the pay wards and general wards at SGMCH. The subjects for the experimental group were chosen first, pretest was done and intervention provided for 5 consecutive days. The intervention was repeated four times per day (morning 8 am to 1 pm two times and noon from2 pm to 5pm two times). Posttest was conducted on the 5th day using the same tools. The same process was repeated for control group without the intervention. Results: The mean rank post test score of lower extremity perfusion in experimental group was 25.79 and the mean rank post test score of lower extremity perfusion in control group was 43.21. The obtained Mann Whitney rank value is 282 and the Z value is 3.663 which is significant at p
