Effectiveness of Buerger Allen Exercise on Lower Limb Perfusion among Diabetic Neuropathy Adults

Diabetic mellitus, a widespread non-communicable disease affects crores of people leading to disabilities like lower extremity amputation, chronic leg ulcers, etc. This study aims to assess effectiveness of Buerger Allen Exercise on lower limb perfusion among diabetic neuropathy adults. The study was conducted using quantitative research approach with true experimental design. The sample size was calculated based on power analysis. By Simple random sampling technique, 60 samples were selected with 30 in experimental group and 30 in control group. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed that, in experimental group (right side), the mean score between pre-test and post-test was 0.49 ± 0.12 and 0.86 ± 0.06. The paired test value of the experimental group was 17.90 at p<0.001 level, which showed a highly significant difference when compared to paired ‘t’ test value of the control group was 0.82. In the control group (right side), the mean score between pre-test and post-test was 0.52 ± 0.15 and 0.52 ± 0.15. The obtained paired t test value was 0.82 which was not statistically significant p>0.05). Considering the above findings, the investigator has concluded that Buerger Allen exercise was effective in improving lower limb perfusion among diabetic neuropathy adults.
