[ABSTRAK
Penderita neuropati perifer diabetik yang mengalami penurunan sensasi kaki dapatberakibat terjadinya luka diabetik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui efektivitaskombinasi senam kaki diabetik dan terapi SPA terhadap peningkatan sensasi kakipada pasien dengan neuropati perifer diabetik. Penelitian ini menggunakan kuasiexperimental pretest-posttest design with control group dengan jumlah sample 35orang yang didapat dengan tehnik purposive sampling. Pengukuran sensasi kakidilakukan pada hari pertama minggu ke-1 dan hari terakhir minggu ke-4 perlakuan.Sampel penelitian yaitu pasien neuropati perifer diabetik dengan skor sensasi kakimaksimal 8. Hasil uji mann whitney menunjukkan ada perbedaan reratapeningkatan sensasi kaki yang diberikan kombinasi senam kaki diabetik dan terapiSPA dibandingkan hanya diberikan tindakan senam kaki diabetik (p value < 0.05).Tindakan kombinasi senam kaki diabetik dan terapi SPA lebih efektif dalammeningkatkan sensasi kaki yang akan berpengaruh terhadap menurunnya resikoluka pada pasien DM.

ABSTRACT
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients with decreasing in foot sensation willimpact on diabetic ulcers. This study aims to explore the effect of combinationbetween diabetic legs exercise and SPA therapy on foot sensitivity escalationamong patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. This study used quasiexperimentalpretest-posttest design with control group with 35 respondents andrecruited by purposive sampling methode. Data were collected from patients withperipheral diabetic neuropathy and had 8 maximum score of foot sensitivity.. Footsensitivity was measured on the 1st day of intervention and end day of intervention.Mann whitney test analysis showed significant differences on foot sensitivity withcombination of diabetic legs exercise and SPA therapy compare to diabetic legsexercise only (p value < 0.05). It can be inferred that combination of diabetic legsexercise and SPA therapy are more effective to increase legs sensitivity. Therefore,combined effect of those therapies may eventually decrease diabetic ulcers risk., Diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients with decreasing in foot sensation willimpact on diabetic ulcers.
