Abstract

Introduction: Peripheral neuropathy is a common microvascular complication in Diabetes Mellitus patients, with symptoms of tingling, numbness, pain in the feet, and disabilities in daily activities. Buerger Allen Exercise to stimulate the development of collateral circulation in the feet. The purpose of the study was to explain the effect of Buerger Allen's Exercise on the physical health performance of diabetic neuropathy patients. Methods: The research design used an experimental one-group pre-test post-test design. Purposive sampling technique with inclusion criteria: male and female DM patients, with a long history of diabetes> 5 years, undergoing treatment at the health center / other health services. Samples were taken in Krembangan Surabaya City with as many as 24 respondents. The independent variable was the Buerger Allen Exercise. The dependent variables were the physical health performance of diabetic neuropathy patients (peripheral oxygen saturation (StO2), Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI on the foot), and physical activity ability). The instruments used were an observation sheet for measurements of StO2, ABI, and physical ability. The research data were analyzed using the Paired t-test statistical test with a significance level of p <0.05. Results: There are significant results Buerger Allen Exercise of Ankle-Brachial Index (p=0.0085) and physical activity ability (p=0.031), and no significant result of peripheral oxygen saturation (p=0.075). Conclusion: There is an effect of the Buerger Allen Exercise on the Ankle-Brachial Index and physical activity ability of diabetic neuropathy patients. Further research needs to examine Buerger's exercise toward blood glucose levels and control factors that are related.

Abstract

Background. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by chronic pain, stiffness, and decreased joint function, which significantly impairs the quality of life in older adults. As OA progresses, it limits mobility and daily functioning, leading to psychological distress and reduced independence. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Home-Based Exercise Training (HBET) in improving the quality of life among elderly patients with osteoarthritis. Research Methods. A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest and posttest design was conducted at the Surabaya Square Public Health Center. Sum of 26 elderly patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis were selected through consecutive sampling, meeting specific inclusion criteria. Participants performed HBET knee exercises at home for 2 weeks under guidance. The Osteoarthritis of Knee and Hip Quality of Life (OAKHQOL) questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the paired t-test with a significance level set at p <0.05. Findings. Statistical analysis revealed a significant improvement in life quality after the intervention, p-value 0.0001. Participants experienced notable enhancements in physical functioning, pain reduction, emotional well-being, and social engagement after performing regular HBET knee exercises. Conclusions. Home-Based Exercise Training (HBET) effectively enhances life quality for older patients knee osteoarthritis. It is a practical, low-cost, and sustainable intervention that can be implemented in community health programs. Further research is recommended to explore HBET's benefits in other aging-related conditions.
