Iyini i-Carpal tunnel syndrome?
I-Carpal tunnel syndrome yenzeka lapho i-median nerve icindezelwa endleleni encane ezungezwe amathambo nemisipha ohlangothini lwesandla. Lokhu kucindezelwa kungaholela ezimpawini ezifana nokungazweli, ukuqaqamba, kanye nobuthakathaka ezandleni nasezingalweni. Izici ezifana nesakhiwo sesihlakala, izinkinga zempilo, kanye nokunyakaza kwezandla okuphindaphindiwe kungabangela i-carpal tunnel syndrome. Ukwelashwa okufanele kuvame ukunciphisa ukuqaqamba nokuqaqamba ngenkathi kubuyiselwa ukusebenza kwesihlakala nesandla.

Izici ezifana nesakhiwo sesihlakala, izinkinga zempilo, kanye nokunyakaza kwezandla okuphindaphindiwe kungabangela i-carpal tunnel syndrome. Ukwelashwa okufanele kuvame ukunciphisa ukuqaqamba nokuqaqamba ngenkathi kubuyiselwa ukusebenza kwesihlakala nesandla.
Ukuxilongwa
Izithombe ze-X-raybabonisa isifo samathambo noma ukwaphuka kwamathambo, kodwa abakwazi ukubona izinkinga ngomgogodla, imisipha, imizwa, noma amadiski kuphela.
I-MRI noma i-CT scans: dala izithombe ezingaveza ama-disc aqhekekile noma izinkinga ngamathambo, imisipha, izicubu, imisipha, imizwa, imisipha kanye nemithambo yegazi.
Ukuhlolwa kwegazi: kungasiza ekunqumeni ukuthi ukutheleleka noma esinye isimo sibangela ubuhlungu.
Izifundo zemizwa:njenge-electromyography (EMG) ilinganisa ukushukuma kwemizwa kanye nezimpendulo zemisipha ukuqinisekisa ingcindezi emizweni ebangelwa ama-disc aqhekekile noma i-spinal stenosis.
Ungayiphatha kanjani i-Carpal tunnel syndrome ngemikhiqizo ye-electrotherapy?
I-TENS ingasetshenziswa njengendlela yokwelapha i-carpal tunnel syndrome engeyona eyemithi. I-Carpal tunnel syndrome ibangelwa ukucindezelwa kwe-median nerve esihlakaleni ngenxa yokusetshenziswa ngokweqile noma ezinye izici, okuholela ezimpawini ezifana nokungazweli, ubuhlungu, kanye nobuthakathaka eminweni. I-TENS isebenza ngokuvuselela imicu yezinzwa nokukhiqiza ukusabela kwendawo ukuze kuncishiswe ubuhlungu, njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili. Ngakho-ke, ekwelapheni i-carpal tunnel syndrome, i-TENS inganikeza indlela engeyona eyemithi, engahlaseli yokuqeda ubuhlungu.
Indlela ethile yokusebenzisa yilena elandelayo (imodi ye-TENS):
☆ Khetha imodi ye-TENS: I-electrode eyodwa ibekwa phakathi kwesandla (phakathi kwemisipha ye-thenar ne-hypothenar) kanti enye ibekwa eduze komugqa wesihlakala.
① Nquma inani elifanele lamandla kagesi: Lungisa amandla amanje edivayisi ye-electrotherapy ye-TENS ngokusekelwe ekutheni uzizwa ubuhlungu obungakanani nokuthi yini ekhululekile kuwe. Ngokuvamile, qala ngamandla aphansi bese uwandisa kancane kancane uze uzizwe umuzwa omnandi.
②Ukubekwa kwama-electrode: Beka ama-electrode patches e-TENS endaweni ebuhlungu noma eduze kwayo. Nge-carpal tunnel syndrome, ungawabeka emisipheni ezungeze isihlakala sakho noma ngqo lapho kubuhlungu khona. Qiniseka ukuthi ubopha ama-electrode pads ngokuqinile esikhumbeni sakho.
③Khetha imodi efanele kanye nemvamisa: Amadivayisi e-electrotherapy e-TENS avame ukuba nezindlela eziningi ezahlukene kanye nemvamisa ongakhetha kuzo. Uma kukhulunywa nge-carpal tunnel syndrome, ungakhetha ukuvuselela okuqhubekayo noma okushukunyiswa yi-pulse. Vele ukhethe imodi kanye nemvamisa ezizwa zikhululekile kuwe ukuze uthole ukukhululeka kobuhlungu okungcono kakhulu.
④Isikhathi kanye nemvamisa: Kuye ngokuthi yini esebenza kahle kuwe, iseshini ngayinye ye-TENS electrotherapy kufanele ihlale imizuzu eyi-15 kuya kwengama-30, futhi kunconywa ukuyisebenzisa kanye kuya kwezintathu ngosuku. Njengoba umzimba wakho usabela, zizwe ukhululekile ukulungisa kancane kancane imvamisa kanye nobude bokusetshenziswa njengoba kudingeka.
⑤Ukuhlanganisa nezinye izindlela zokwelapha: Ukuze ukhulule ubuhlungu esihlakaleni, kungase kusebenze kangcono uma uhlanganisa ukwelashwa kwe-TENS nezinye izindlela zokwelapha. Isibonelo, zama ukusebenzisa izinto zokucindezela ukushisa, ukwelula izihlakala kancane noma ukuvivinya umzimba ngokuphumula, noma ngisho nokubhucungwa - konke kungasebenza ndawonye ngokuvumelana!
