OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY: 1.To assess the level of lower extremity perfusion among diabetes mellitus patients. 2.To evaluate the effectiveness of Allen Buerger exercise on lower extremity perfusion among the experimental group. 3.To corelate the lower extremity perfusion score between the experimental and Control group. 4.To find out the association between lower extremity perfusion score with selected demographic variables among diabetes mellitus patients. HYPOTHESIS: H0: There will be no significant difference between pre and post test score of lower extremity perfusion among diabetes mellitus patients in experimental group.H01: There will be no significant difference between experimental and control group of lower extremity perfusion among diabetes mellitus patients.H02: There will be no significant association between experimental and control group of lower extremity perfusion among diabetes mellitus patients. Dependent Variable: In the present study, dependent variable was lower extremity perfusion among diabetes mellitus patients Independent Variables: In the present study, independent variable was Allen Buerger exercise on improving lower extremity perfusion among diabetes mellitus patients. Setting Of The Study: The study was conducted in the selected hospitals of the city. Population: In the present study accessible population was diabetes mellitus patients of lower extremity perfusion. Sample: The study sample comprised of the patients having lower extremity perfusion such diabetes mellitus patients. Sampling Technique: Non probability purposive sampling is a technique where in the sample is gathered in a process that does give all the individuals of a family members who have a back pain in the population. SAMPLE SIZE: The sample size was 80, 40 for experimental group; 40 for control group. Major Findings Of Study: In this study, 5% of diabetes mellitus patients in experimental group had normal lower extremity score, 22.5% in experimental group and 27.5% in control group had some arterial disease, 65% in experimental group and 67.5% in control group had moderate arterial disease and 7.5% in experimental group and 5% in control group had severe arterial disease score. Minimum lower extremity score in experimental group was 0.40 and in control group it was 0.40 and in maximum lower extremity score in experimental group was 8 and in control group it was 0.90. Mean lower extremity score among diabetes mellitus, while after post test it shows 12.5% of diabetes mellitus patients in experimental group and 5% in control group had normal lower extremity score, 75% in experimental group and 82.5% in control group had some arterial disease and 12.5% in experimental group and 12.5% in control group had moderate arterial disease score. Minimum lower extremity score in experimental group was 0.50 and in control group it was 0.40 and in maximum lower extremity score in experimental group was 2 and in control group it was 1.40.
