Salam sejahtera semuaaaa...
Moga hari ini lebih baik dari semalam....
Ada ramai orang di Dunia ini yang mengalami sakit seperti aku. Mengalami sakit belakang dan disc tergelincir. Bermacam usaha dibuat. Sama ada alternatif mahupun moden. Semuanya bergantung pada kondisi tubuh masing masing. Besarnya keesaan Allah yang menciptakan manusia pelbagai bagai kondisi. Ada yang kuat ada yang lemah dan sebagainya. Begitu juga dengan daya juang mereka untuk melawan sakit ini. Ada yang kuat dan ada yang lemah.
Aku....
Disamping masalah disc yang rosak, pakej aku ialah foot drop. Walaupun pembedahan tu telah dilakukan, namun ianya tidak menyembuhkan foot drop aku.
Usaha tangga kejayaan
Berusahalah kita di bumi Allah yang indah ini mencari ikhtiar untuk memulihkan foot drop aku. Antara usaha aku setakat ini ialah:
1. Menggunakan khidmat pengamal tradisional/rawatan alternatif
2. Menghubungi syarikat dari USA yang telah menggunakan sistem bagi merangsang saraf di kaki dengan memakai gelang di betis sahaja. Dan di Malaysia masih belum ada. Dari perhubungan ini, jira kita Singapore telah ada sistem ini.
3. Menghubungi pula syarikat di Singapore bagi bertanyakan alat ininnamun hampankerana ianya tidak suit dengan aku.
4. Melayari internet serta lihat video lagi dan lagi bagi mencari kaedah terbaik bagi mengatasi foot drop dan telah berjumpa pelbagai alat yang dipakai di kaki.
5. Call pembekal yang membekalkan lumbar corset aku iaitu TEH LIN PROSTHETIC & ORTHOPAEDIC CO. SDN BHD di Taman Ampang Hilir bagi bertanyakan tentang AFO atau Ankle-foot Orthosis. Dari product specialistnya, Mr. shin Chin Ai, aku tahu bahawa AFO ni kalu ready made berharga RM270 dan yang ditempah khusus berharga RM1,200 sebelum rundingan.
6. Berdoa pada Allah SWT supaya diringankan sakit ini dan disembuhkan jika ada rezeki aku. :-) Insyaallah...
7. Berkongsi pengalaman dan memberi pengetahuan apa yang aku alami melalui blog ini. Terima kasih kepada yang membaca dan Alhamdulillah perkongsian ini ada manfaatnya...
Yang tegak tegak macam pocong tu namanya Ankle Foot Ortosis. Huhuhu yang kat kaki tu la sistem dari USA tueeee....
The following information on Foot Drop is made available by the National Institutes of Health:
What is Foot Drop?
Foot drop describes the inability to raise the front part of the foot due to weakness or paralysis of the muscles that lift the foot. As a result, individuals with foot drop scuff their toes along the ground or bend their knees to lift their foot higher than usual to avoid the scuffing, which causes what is called a “steppage” gait. Foot drop can be unilateral (affecting one foot) or bilateral (affecting both feet). Foot drop is a symptom of an underlying problem and is either temporary or permanent, depending on the cause. Causes include: neurodegenerative disorders of the brain that cause muscular problems, such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, and cerebral palsy; motor neuron disorders such as polio, some forms of spinal muscular atrophy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease); injury to the nerve roots, such as in spinal stenosis; peripheral nerve disorders such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease or acquired peripheral neuropathy; local compression or damage to the peroneal nerve as it passes across the fibular bone below the knee; and muscle disorders, such as muscular dystrophy or myositis.
Is there any treatment?
Treatment depends on the specific cause of foot drop. The most common treatment is to support the foot with light-weight leg braces and shoe inserts, called ankle-foot orthotics. Exercise therapy to strengthen the muscles and maintain joint motion also helps to improve gait. Devices that electrically stimulate the peroneal nerve during footfall are appropriate for a small number of individuals with foot drop. In cases with permanent loss of movement, surgery that fuses the foot and ankle joint or that transfers tendons from stronger leg muscles is occasionally performed.
What is the prognosis?
The prognosis for foot drop depends on the cause. Foot drop caused by trauma or nerve damage usually shows partial or even complete recovery. For progressive neurological disorders, foot drop will be a symptom that is likely to continue as a lifelong disability, but it will not shorten life expectancy.
What research is being done?
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) conducts research related to the neurological conditions that cause foot drop in its laboratories at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and also supports additional research through grants to major medical institutions across the country. Much of this research focuses on finding better ways to prevent, treat, and ultimately cure the kinds of neurological disorders that cause foot drop.
