Foot exercise intervention increased ankle brachial index values in type 2 diabetes patients after just three days.
ABI values improved from 0.91 to 1.04 for the right leg and from 0.90 to 0.97 for the left leg post-exercise.
This case report focused on one patient and utilized a simple foot exercise routine for 15-30 minutes daily.
Incorporating foot exercises for diabetic patients may enhance their treatment outcomes and promote self-care at home.
