<![CDATA[Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus can lead to reduced foot sensitivity due to nerve impairment and compromised peripheral circulation. Buerger-Allen exercises are a non-pharmacological intervention that can help improve peripheral circulation and lower-extremity sensitivity.Objective: To determine the effect of Buerger Allen Exercise on improving foot sensitivity among adults with type II diabetes mellitus in the working area of the Tanah Tinggi Public Health Center.Methods: This study used a quantitative design with a quasi-experimental approach and a one-group pre-post test design. The sample consisted of 68 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Foot sensitivity was measured using a 10 g monofilament test before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon testResults: There was an improvement in foot sensitivity after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value < 0.05, indicating a significant effect of Buerger Allen Exercise on foot sensitivity.Conclusion: Buerger Allen Exercise is effective in improving foot sensitivity in patients with type II diabetes mellitus and can be used as a self-care intervention to prevent neuropathic complications]]>
