The results showed that the Wilcoxon signed ranks test statistic on 20 respondents in the two intervention groups showed a difference after being given foot massage and joint mobility exercises intervention on the ABI value, with each p-value (p = 0.00). In conclusion, foot massage and joint mobility exercises effectively improve peripheral circulation and increase ABI values in Type 2 DM patients.
