Isishwankathelo

Isifo sikaParkinson (PD) luhlobo lokuhamba okungahambi kakuhle. Kwenzeka xa iiseli zemithambo-luvo kwingqondo zingavelisi ngokwaneleyo imichiza yobuchopho ebizwa ngokuba yi-dopamine. Ngamanye amaxesha iba yimfuza, kodwa uninzi lweziganeko kubonakala ngathi alusebenzi kwiintsapho. Ukuboniswa kwimichiza kwindalo esingqongileyo kunokudlala indima.

Iimpawu ziqala kancinci kancinci kwelinye icala lomzimba. Emva kwexesha zichaphazela omabini amacala. Babandakanya

• Ukungcangcazela kwezandla, iingalo, imilenze, umhlathi nobuso
• Ukuqina kweengalo, imilenze kunye nesiqu
• Ukucotha kokuhamba
• Ukungalingani kunye nokulungelelanisa

Njengoko iimpawu ziba zibi, abantu abanesifo banokuba neengxaki zokuhamba, ukuthetha, okanye ukwenza imisebenzi elula. Banokuba neengxaki ezinje ngoxinzelelo, iingxaki zokulala, okanye ingxaki yokuhlafuna, ukugwinya okanye ukuthetha.

Akukho luvavanyo oluthile lwe-PD, ke kunokuba nzima ukulufumanisa. Oogqirha basebenzisa imbali yezonyango kunye noviwo lweeurological ukulufumanisa.

I-PD ihlala iqala malunga neminyaka engama-60, kodwa ingaqala kwangoko. Kuqheleke kakhulu emadodeni kunabafazi. Akukho lunyango lwePD. Iindidi zamayeza ngamanye amaxesha zinceda kakhulu iimpawu. Utyando kunye nokukhuthaza ubuchopho obunzulu (DBS) kunokunceda iimeko ezinzima. Nge-DBS, ii-electrode zifakwa ngotyando ngengqondo. Bathumela iimpompo zombane ukukhuthaza iinxalenye zobuchopho ezilawula ukuhamba.
