  • Abstract:
  • Diabetes is a chronic disease that occur when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood glucose. Hyperglycemia is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus which leads to serious damage to many of the body's systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels. Buerger Allen exercise is an active postural exercise in which gravity alternatively fills and empties the blood vessels for preventing vascular diseases and promoting collateral circulation in lower extremities. Hence, maintenance of lower extremity perfusion should be a primary concern to make our lifestyle healthy. This study helps to enhance the effectiveness of the Buerger Allen exercise on the lower extremity perfusion among clients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The present study was aimed is to find the effectiveness of Buerger Allon exercise on Lower Extremity Perfusion among clients with diabetes mellitus in selected area of Amritsar, Punjab. Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) score was used to collect data from sample of 54 clients who had type 2 diabetes mellitus. Pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design was selected using purposive sampling technique.

Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) score was used to collect data from sample of 54 clients who had type 2 diabetes mellitus. Pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design was selected using purposive sampling technique. The results of the study showed the significant difference in pre-interventional and post-interventional lower extremity perfusion among clients with diabetes mellitus. The mean difference between pre-interventional and post-interventional left and right lower extremity perfusion among clients with diabetes mellitus was found statistically significant at p<0.001 with t value -10.756 at p<0.01 and in right level of perfusion it was found statistically significant at p<0.001 with t value -14.283. Hence, it can be concluded that Buerger Allen exercise were effective in lower extremity perfusion so it is important to encourage Buerger Allen exercise as a natural measure for improving lower extremity perfusion among clients with diabetes mellitus to maintain health, functional independence and quality of life.
