Literature Review; The Effect of Buerger Allen Exercise on Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) Values in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 Patients; Literature Review

Abstract

Introduction: Patients with Diabetes Mellitus type 2 tend to have ABI values lower than the normal range due to lack of physical exercise and uncontrolled hyperglycemia. This needs to be prevented through joint movement exercises with the Buerger Allen exercise which can increase blood perfusion in the lower extremities so that there is an increase in the value of the ankle-brachial index (ABI). Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of Buerger Allen exercise on the value of the ankle-brachial index (ABI) in patients with Diabetes Mellitus type 2 based on a review of research journals. Methods: This study uses a literature review method. Search literature using 5 databases, namely Portal Garuda, Sinta, ProQuest, Scopus, and Google Scholar with keywords according to MeSH, namely "Buerger Allen Exercise", "Ankle Brachial Index", and "Diabetes Mellitus Type 2". The PICOS framework was used to adjust the inclusion criteria which were divided into 5 English journals and 5 Indonesian journals and then analyzed narratively based on similarity analysis. Results: The findings of the ten journals stated that the Buerger Allen exercise had a significant effect on the value of the ankle-brachial index (ABI). Discussion: Buerger Allen exercise is a physical exercise to improve foot peripheral perfusion that can increase the value of the ankle-brachial index in type 2 DM patients. Conclusion: Buerger Allen exercise has a significant effect on increasing the ankle-brachial index (ABI) score so that it can be used as a reference source for standard operating procedures and nursing interventions.Keywords: Buerger Allen; Exercise; Ankle Brachial Index; Diabetes Mellitus

Effect of Educational Intervention Program on Nurses’Performance Regarding Tracheoesophageal Fistula among Mechanically Ventilated Patients

“…Lower extremity orthopedic surgeries, venous stasis, as well immobilization are significant risk factors. (7) Improving blood circulation by lower extremity exercise has been considered one of the most effective non-pharmacological managements for children succeeding orthopedic surgery on the lower limb. The calf muscles "the body's second heart", when exercised, its pump function intensifies which sequentially improve lower limb circulation, walking capacity, wound healing.…”

“…Buerger's exercises considered a muscle pump postural treatment modality that is capable of increasing vascularization thereby increase lower extremity tissue perfusion. (7,8) By optimizing and strengthening the work of small muscles, this exercise serves to raise the demand for oxygen and nutrients in blood vessels, enhance circulation, speed up the healing of foot wounds, clear away stagnant blood and help establish collateral circulation, also avoiding foot deformities. (9) The pediatric orthopedic nurses play a vital complementary role in caring for children going through orthopedic surgery on lower extremities as they are accountable for preserving health, safety, and high quality of life for the children and their family.…”

“…Data must meet a number of inclusion criteria defined according to an article search strategy utilizing the PICOS framework (Carmitha, Imroatul, & Fatin Lailatul, 2022). These criteria are as follows (Tan, Cheor, Yeo, & Leow, 2022): a. P (Population/Problem): It stands for the population or problem we are going to study based on the specific literature review topic we have chosen.…”
