Kua ngoikore ō waewae? Me ako tātou mō te Rangahau Whakahaere Io!

Kei te rongo koe i te ngau kino i ō ringaringa, i ō waewae rānei i ētahi wā? Kei te ahua ngoikore ō maihao i ētahi wā? I tēnei rā kei te kōrero tātou mō tētahi whakamātautau motuhake e whakamahia ana e ngā tākuta hei rapu mēnā he raruraru kei roto i tō pūnaha io. Ka kiia tēnei he Rangahau Whakahaere Io, he whakamātautau NCS rānei hei whakarapopototanga.

He aha te tikanga o tēnei whakamātautau io (NCS)?

Whakaarohia ngā io o roto i tō tātou tinana he waea hiko. Ko ēnei waea te wāhi e haere ai ngā tohu hiko mai i te roro ki ō tātou peka, e kī ana ki te roro he aha tā tātou e rongo ana (wera, makariri) me te tohutohu i a tātou kia nekehia ō tātou peka i te huarahi e hiahiatia ana e tātou. Ko te whakamātautau NCS he whakamātautau e ine ana i te mahi a ēnei waea hiko, arā, ngā io.

Ko te nuinga o tēnei whakamātautau ka titiro ki te āhua o ō io taha . Arā, ko te whatunga io e toro atu ana puta noa i te tinana i waho o te pūnaha matua e kiia nei ko te roro me te taurakira. Ka ine tēnei whakamātautau i te tere o te haere o te tohu hiko i roto i te io me te kaha o taua tohu.

Kia kite tātou he aha te momo io e rapuhia ana e tēnei:

• Ngā Io Pūkaha: Koinei ngā io e whakahaere ana i ō tātou uaua, e āwhina ana hoki i a tātou ki te neke. Hei tauira, ina hiahia koe ki te hapai i tō ringa, ka haria e ēnei io te karere mai i tō roro ki ngā uaua o tō ringa.
• Ngā io Pūrongo: Ka haria e ēnei io ngā mea e pā ana ki a tātou, pērā i te pā, te mamae, me te wera, ki te roro. Ki te pā koe ki tētahi mea wera, ka tere whakamōhio atu ēnei io pūrongo ki te roro.

Mā tō tākuta tēnei whakamātautau e whakahau mēnā kei a koe ngā tohu pēnei i te ngoikore, te mākūkū, te ngoikore rānei o ō ringaringa, o ō kapu waewae rānei. Ko tēnei whakamātautau NCS ka mahia tahitia me tētahi atu whakamātautau e kiia nei ko te EMG (Electromyography) . Ka kōrerohia tēnei e tātou i muri mai.

He aha ngā mate ka taea te kite mā te whakamātautau NCS?

Ko te nuinga o tēnei whakamātautau ka kitea te kino o te io me te pēhanga o te io. Me titiro tātou ki ēnei āhuatanga me ngā take o aua āhuatanga.

1. Te Neuropathy o te taha o te roro

Ka puta tēnei i te kino o ngā io o te taha puta noa i te tinana. He maha ngā take mō tēnei.

2. Ngā Mate Pēhanga Io

Ka puta tēnei ina piri te io i waenganui i te wheua, te uaua, te kiko rānei i tētahi wāhi o te tinana.

Anei ētahi tauira o tēnei:

• Te Mate Pūnaha Carpal Tunnel: He mate e pāngia ana e te hunga e mahi ana i te rorohiko, e pato ana rānei mō te wā roa. Ka puta tēnei i te pēhanga o te io e rere ana i roto i te ringaringa , ka pā te ngoikore me te mamae o te koromatua, te maihao tohu, me te maihao waenga.
• Sciatica: He mate e puta mai ana i te pēhanga o te io nui e rere ana mai i te tuara ki raro i te waewae, ka puta te mamae nui me te ngoikore e horapa ana ki raro i te waewae.

He aha te rerekētanga i waenga i ngā whakamātautau NCS me ngā whakamātautau EMG?

I te nuinga o te wā, ka mahia ngātahitia ēnei whakamātautau e rua. Engari e rua ngā mea e tirohia ana e ēnei whakamātautau e rua.

Hei whakarāpopototanga,

• Ka ine te whakamātautau NCS i te pai me te tere o te rere o te 'ia' i te 'waea' e kiia nei ko te io.
• Ka tirohia e te whakamātautau EMG te urupare a te uaua e hono ana ki taua io i muri i te putanga o te ia, arā, te pai o tana whakawhāiti.

Mā te mahi ngātahi i ēnei whakamātautau e rua, ka taea e tō tākuta te whakatau mēnā he raruraru io, he raruraru uaua rānei te take o ō tohumate.

Me pēhea taku whakarite mō tēnei whakamātautau?

Kāore e nui te whakarite e hiahiatia ana mō tēnei, engari kia maumahara ki ēnei mea.

• Me kaukau pai i mua i te haerenga mai ki te whakamātautau. He mea nui kia noho ma.
• Kaua e pania he kirīmi, he hinu kiri, he paura , he hinu rānei ki ō waewae i te rā o te whakamātautau. Ki te waiho ēnei ki te kiri, ka pāngia pea te tika o te whakamātautau.
• Haere mai me mau i ngā kākahu whakamarie, ngāwari hoki .
• Mena kua whakauruhia he taputapu whakatere , he taputapu hiko rānei ki roto i tō tinana, me kōrero koe ki tō tākuta i mua i te whakamātautau.

He aha ngā mea ka puta i te wā o te whakamātautau? He aha ngā mea hei wehi māu?

He tokomaha te hunga e mataku ana ki tēnei whakamātautau, nā te mea he 'auhiko' kei roto. Engari kāore he take e mataku ai.

Anei te mea e tupu ana i ia taahiraa i te wā o te whakamātautau:

1. Ka meinga koe kia noho ki runga i te tūru, kia takoto rānei ki runga i te moenga.

2. Kātahi ka tāpirihia e te tākuta, e te tohunga hangarau rānei ētahi mea iti, he rite ki te whakapiripiri, e kīia nei ko ngā irahiko, ki te mata o tō kiri, ki te wāhi kei reira ngā io hei whakamātautau.

3. Kātahi ka tukuna he pāoro hiko iti, ngawari ki te io mai i tētahi irahiko.

4. He rite tēnei ki te iahiko iti e 'mīti' ana i ētahi wā ina kakahuria he kākahu. Ka rongohia e ētahi he mīti iti. Kāore tēnei i te mamae.I te tīmatanga i paku ohorere, engari kāore i roa i te hēkona.

5. I te haere o tēnei tohu hiko i roto i te io, ka inehia e ētahi atu irahiko te tere o tana haere.

6. Mā tēnei, ka tukuna he pāoro hiko iti ki ētahi wāhi o te io, ā, ka kohia ngā raraunga.

Ka roa pea tēnei tukanga katoa mai i te 15 meneti ki te haora, i runga i te maha o ngā io e whakamatautauria ana.

Ngā mea hei mōhio māu mō ngā hua o te whakamātautau (Pūrongo)

I te nuinga o te wā ka taea e koe te whiwhi i tō pūrongo hua i roto i ngā haora 24-48 i muri i te whakaoti i te whakamātautau.

Engari ko te mea nui kia maumahara ko tēnei pūrongo NCS tētahi wāhanga noa iho o te panga. Kāore tō tākuta e whakatau i runga i tēnei pūrongo anake. Ka whakaarohia e ia ō tohumate, ō mate hauora kē atu, me ngā hua o ētahi atu whakamātautau kua mahia, kia mōhio ai koe ki tō mate me te whakamahere i tō maimoatanga.

Nō reira, he mea nui kia kōrero koe ki tō tākuta mō tēnei mea i muri i te whiwhinga o te pūrongo, kia whiwhi ai hoki i tētahi whakamārama mai i a ia.
