This study aims to examine the improvement offoot sensitivity in patients with Type Il Diabetes Mellitus at TK 11 Putri Hijau Hospital, Medan. This research employed a descriptive case study design by collecting data using observation sheets and random blood glucose checks. The subjects were two patients with impaired foot sensitivity due to Type 11 Diabetes Mellitus at TK 11 Putri Hijau Hospital. The results showed an improvement in foot sensitivity following regular active range of motion (ROM) exercises.
