Summary
This study tested whether Buerger-Allen exercises, a series of leg movements done at home twice daily, can improve blood flow in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers compared 74 participants who did the exercises plus routine care against those who only received routine care. The goal was to see if the exercise helps peripheral circulation, which is often poor in diabetes and can lead to serious complications.
