I-Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-ALS, yisifo esiwohlozayo esibangela ukubhujiswa kwama-neuron abhekene nokunyakaza kwemisipha yokuzithandela, okuholela ekukhubazekeni okuqhubekayo okugcina kuvimbela imisebenzi elula njengokuhamba, ukuhlafuna noma ukukhuluma, isibonelo.

Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, lesi sifo sidala ukwehla kwamandla emisipha, ikakhulukazi ezingalweni nasemilenzeni, kuthi ezimeni esezithuthuke kakhulu, umuntu othintekile akhubazeke futhi imisipha yabo iqale ukuncipha, iba mincane futhi ibe mincane.

I-Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ayinakho ukwelashwa, kepha ukwelashwa nge-physiotherapy nemithi, njengoRiluzole, kusiza ukubambezela ukuqhubeka kwesifo nokugcina ukuzimela okuningi ngangokunokwenzeka emisebenzini yansuku zonke. Thola okuningi ngalo muthi osetshenziswayo ekwelashweni.

Izimpawu eziyinhloko

Izimpawu zokuqala ze-ALS kunzima ukuzibona futhi ziyahlukahluka kuye ngomuntu nomuntu. Kwezinye izimo kuvame kakhulu ukuthi umuntu aqale ukukhubeka kukhaphethi, kanti kwezinye kunzima ukubhala, ukuphakamisa into noma ukukhuluma kahle, ngokwesibonelo.

Kodwa-ke, ngokuqhubekela phambili kwalesi sifo, izimpawu ziyabonakala, futhi zikhona:

• Ukwehla kwamandla emisipha yomphimbo;
• Ukuqubuka njalo noma amajaqamba emisipheni, ikakhulukazi ezandleni nasezinyaweni;
• Izwi elijiyile nobunzima bokukhuluma kakhulu;
• Kunzima ukugcina isimo esifanele;
• Kunzima ukukhuluma, ukugwinya noma ukuphefumula.

I-Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ivela kuma-motor neurons kuphela, ngakho-ke, umuntu, noma ekhula ukukhubazeka, uyakwazi ukugcina zonke izinzwa zakhe zokuhogela, ukunambitha, ukuthinta, ukubona nokuzwa.

Ukuxilongwa kwenziwa kanjani

Ukuxilongwa akulula futhi, ngakho-ke, udokotela angenza izivivinyo eziningana, njenge-computed tomography noma i-magnetic resonance imaging, ukukhipha ezinye izifo ezingadala ukungabi namandla ngaphambi kokusola i-ALS, njenge-myasthenia gravis.

Ngemuva kokutholakala kwe-amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, isikhathi sokuphila sesiguli ngasinye siyahluka phakathi kweminyaka emi-3 nengu-5, kepha kube nezimo zokuphila isikhathi eside, njengoStephen Hawking owaphila nalesi sifo iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-50.

Izimbangela ezingaba khona ze-ALS

Izimbangela ze-amyotrophic lateral sclerosis azikaqondakali ngokuphelele. Ezinye izimo zesifo zibangelwa ukuqongelela kwamaprotheni anobuthi kuma-neurons alawula imisipha, futhi lokhu kuvame kakhulu emadodeni aphakathi kweminyaka engama-40 nengama-50. Kodwa ezimweni ezimbalwa, i-ALS nayo ingabangelwa ukukhubazeka okuzuzwe ngofuzo, ekugcineni kudlule kusuka kubazali kuya ezinganeni.

Yelashwa kanjani

Ukwelashwa kwe-ALS kufanele kuqondiswe yisazi sezinzwa futhi, imvamisa, kuqalwa ngokusetshenziswa kwesidakamizwa iRiluzole, esisiza ukunciphisa izilonda ezibangelwa ama-neurons, kubambezele ukuqhubeka kwesifo.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, lapho kutholakala ukuthi lesi sifo sisaqala, udokotela futhi angancoma ukwelashwa ngokomzimba. Ezimweni ezisezingeni eliphakeme kakhulu, ama-analgesics, afana ne-Tramadol, angasetshenziswa ukunciphisa ukungakhululeki nobuhlungu obubangelwa ukuqeda imisipha.

Njengoba lesi sifo siqhubeka, ukukhubazeka kusakazekela kweminye imisipha futhi ekugcineni kuthinte imisipha yokuphefumula, okudinga ukulaliswa esibhedlela ukuphefumula ngosizo lwamadivayisi.

Kwenziwa kanjani i-physiotherapy

I-Physiotherapy ye-amyotrophic lateral sclerosis iqukethe ukusetshenziswa kokuzivocavoca okuthuthukisa ukujikeleza kwegazi, ukubambezela ukubhujiswa kwemisipha ebangelwa yisifo.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-physiotherapist nayo ingancoma futhi ifundise ukusetshenziswa kwesihlalo sabakhubazekile, isibonelo, ukwenza lula imisebenzi yansuku zonke yesiguli esine-ALS.
