Latar Belakang: Komplikasi akibat penyakit arteri perifer pada penderita diabetes mellitus tipe 2 dapat berdampak serius pada kaki sehingga perlu dilakukan kontrol vaskular seperti pemeriksaan ankle brachial index. Aktivitas fisik seperti senam kaki diabetes dapat melancarkan sirkulasi ekstremitas bawah sebagai upaya pencegahan komplikasi.

Tujuan: Mengetahui pengaruh senam kaki diabetes terhadapnilaiankle brachial indexpada penderita diabetes melitus tipe 2.

Metode: Studi ini berupa literature review dari tiga database yaitu proquest, google scholar dan portal garuda pada tahun 2010-2020. Desain penelitian artikel yaitu quasi eksperimental dengan populasi penderita diabetes melitus tipe 2 laki-laki maupun perempuan.Instrumen yang digunakan yaitu Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools for Quasi-Experimental Studies.

Hasil: Terdapat pengaruh senam kaki diabetes terhadap nilai ankle brachial index pada penderita diabetes mellitus tipe 2.

Pembahasan: Senam kaki memiliki pengaruh terhadap nilai ankle brachial index karena dapat melancarkan sirkulasi darah, mencegah kerusakan saraf & terjadinya luka. Frekuensi pelaksanaan minimal 3 kali seminggu dengan teratur. Pelayanan kesehatan termasuk perawat diharapkan dapat memberikan edukasi mengenai senam kaki dan selalu mengukur ankle brachial indexpada penderita diabetes.

Background: Complications due to peripheral arterial disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus can have a serious impact on the feet, so it is necessary to carry out vascular control such as an ankle brachial index examination. Physical activity such as diabetic foot exercise can improve circulation of the lower extremities as an effort to prevent complications.

Objective: To determine the effect of diabetic foot exercise on the value of the ankle brachial index in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: This study is in the form of a literature review of three databases, namely Proquest, Google Scholar and Garuda Portal in 2010-2020. The research design of the article is quasi-experimental with a population of male and female diabetes mellitus type 2 patients. The instrument used is the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools for Quasi-Experimental Studies.

Results: There is an effect of diabetic foot exercise on the value of the ankle brachial index in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Discussion: Foot exercise has an influence on the value of the ankle brachial index because it can improve blood circulation, prevent nerve damage & injury. The frequency of implementation is at least 3 times a week on a regular basis. Health services including nurses are expected to provide education about foot exercises and always measure the ankle brachial index in diabetics.
