Abstract:

Diabetes mellitus is increased risk of peripheral vascular diseases by causing endothelial and smooth muscle cell dysfunction in peripheral arteries. To assess the pre and post level of lower extremity perfusion among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in experimental and control group. To determine the effectiveness of Buerger Allen exercise on lower extremity perfusion among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A true experimental research design and a quantitative research approach were used. A control group with a pretest and posttest was employed. Sixty samples with type 2 diabetes were included in the investigation. The Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences' institutional ethical committee in Chennai granted clearance. Using the random sampling technique, thirty samples were chosen for the experimental group and thirty samples for the control group. A structured interview schedule, a modified version of the Wong Baker FACES pain assessment scale, and a modified Clarke enhanced foot assessment scale were used for the for this study. the pretest mean score was 0.62±0.22 and the post-test mean score was 0.67±0.27. The mean difference score was 0.05. The calculated paired ‘t’ test value of t = 2.21808 which was found to be statistically significant at p<0.05 level. This clearly infers that there is significant difference between the pre-test and post-test levels of lower extremity perfusion. Analysis of variance (Anova) of the level of lower extremity perfusion in the experimental group, the pretest mean was 0.62 and the post-test mean was 0.67. The standard deviation of pretest and post-test is 0.22 and 0.27 respectively. The variance of pre-test was 0.05 and post-test was 0.07. The calculated paired ‘F’ value = 0.7258 which was found to be statistically significant at p<0.05 level. This clearly infers that there is a significant difference between the pretest and post-test levels of lower extremity perfusion.
