ABSTRACT:
The aim of the study is to assess the Effectiveness of Buerger Allen exercises on lower extremity perfusion among patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and to determine the association between the pre-test and post-test levels of lower extremity perfusion with their selected demographic variables. Materials and methods: Quasi experimental with pre-test post-test control group design is to achieve the objective of the study; non-probability purposive sampling technique is used to select the sample. A sample of 60 type 2 diabetic patients: 30 in Experimental & 30 in control group were selected for the study. Data collection were collected by using Modified Inlow’s 60 seconds diabetic foot screen tool and questionnaire including their demographic variables. The collected data were analysed by using Frequency & percentage, Mean & Standard deviation, Chi-square, Paired t-test. Results: The finding of the study revealed that the level of lower extremity perfusion was moderately adequate and inadequate perfusion before Buerger Allen Exercise. It was found that adequate perfusion and moderately adequate perfusion after administration of Buerger Allen Exercise. The paired t-test score of both Experimental group and Control group for Pre-test and Post-test on both legs i.e., Left leg and Right leg respectively as 19.83, 13.15 for Experimental group and -4.23, -8.99 for the Control group. Conclusion: It is evident that the Buerger Allen Exercise is effective in improving the lower extremity perfusion. The study also suggested that specific information and Buerger Allen Exercise has to be taught to the patients in improving the level of lower extremity perfusion.
