Buerger's Exercises and Proprioceptive Drills on Postural Stability and Foot Perfusion in Elderly Patients With Chemotherapy
Combined Effect of Buerger's Exercises and Proprioceptive Drills on Postural Stability and Foot Perfusion in Elderly Patients With Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Randomized Controlled Trial
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common, dose-limiting side effect of neurotoxic chemotherapy agents, characterized by sensory loss, impaired proprioception, and muscle weakness, predominantly affecting the lower limbs. These impairments significantly contribute to postural instability and increase fall risk in elderly patients. Additionally, CIPN-associated microvascular changes can compromise peripheral circulation, further exacerbating neuromotor dysfunction and balance deficits.
While pharmacological options for CIPN are limited and often inadequate, exercise-based interventions have shown promise in mitigating functional impairments. Buerger's exercises, a vascular stimulation technique, are known to enhance peripheral blood flow, whereas proprioceptive drills can improve neuromuscular coordination and postural control. However, their combined effect on both postural stability and foot perfusion in elderly patients with CIPN has not been systematically studied.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
Aim of the Study To investigate the combined effect of Buerger's exercises and proprioceptive drills on postural stability and foot perfusion in elderly patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.
Objectives
Primary Objectives:
- To evaluate the effect of combined Buerger's exercises and proprioceptive drills on postural stability.
- To assess their effect on foot perfusion.
Secondary Objectives:
• To assess changes in balance confidence, functional mobility, and fall incidence.
________________________________________
Hypotheses
- H1: The combined intervention will significantly improve postural stability compared to standard care.
- H2: The combined intervention will significantly enhance foot perfusion compared to standard care.

Pain scale (VAS) The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain." Quality of Life Index (QLI) - SCI Version Comprised of 4 domains:
