Description

APARATO PARA REHABILITACIÓN DEL SÍNDROME DEL TUNEL APPARATUS FOR REHABILITATION OF THE TUNNEL SYNDROME
CARPIANO CARPAL
CAMPO TÉCNICO DE LA INVENCIÓN TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se relaciona con el campo técnico de la mecánica, electrónica y más específicamente con la fisioterapia, ya que aporta un aparato para rehabilitación del síndrome del túnel carpiano. ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVECIÓN The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanics, electronics and more specifically to physiotherapy, since it provides an apparatus for the rehabilitation of carpal tunnel syndrome. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
El túnel del carpo o túnel carpiano es como su propio nombre indica un "canal anatómico" o conducto estrecho, de aproximadamente 2,5 centímetros de ancho, situado en la región de la muñeca, este canal está delimitado por los huesos del carpo en la parte posterior y el ligamento transverso del carpo en la parte delantera, el techo del túnel es una banda resistente de tejido conectivo llamado "ligamento transverso del carpo". Este ligamento se origina en el escafoides y trapecio, y se inserta en el gancho y el pisiforme. Debido a que sus límites son muy rígidos, el túnel carpiano tiene poca capacidad para "estirarse" o aumentar su tamaño, The carpal tunnel or carpal tunnel is, as its name indicates, an "anatomical channel" or narrow conduit, approximately 2.5 centimeters wide, located in the region of the wrist, this channel is delimited by the carpal bones in the back and the transverse carpal ligament in front, the roof of the tunnel is a tough band of connective tissue called the "transverse carpal ligament." This ligament originates from the scaphoid and trapezius, and inserts on the hook and pisiform. Because its boundaries are very rigid, the carpal tunnel has little ability to "stretch" or increase in size,
Por este canal denominado túnel del carpo discurren una gran parte de los músculos y tendones flexores de la mano y de los dedos, por lo tanto, los músculos y tendones que se encargan de la flexión de la mano pasan por este canal situado en la muñeca para luego algunos insertarse en los huesos del carpo y otros tendones llegar hasta los dedos de la mano. El túnel carpiano protege el nervio mediano y los tendones flexores que flexionan los dedos y los pulgares. El síndrome del túnel carpiano es una neuropatía (patología o lesión nerviosa) en la cual existe una presión excesiva en el nervio mediano. Este es el nervio en la muñeca que permite la sensibilidad y el movimiento a partes de la mano. El nervio mediano proporciona sensación y movimiento al lado de la mano en el que se encuentra el dedo pulgar. Esto incluye la palma de la mano, el dedo pulgar, el dedo índice, el dedo medio, y el lado del dedo anular del lado del pulgar. El síndrome del túnel carpiano puede provocar entumecimiento, hormigueo, debilidad, dolor o daño muscular en la mano y dedos. A large part of the flexor muscles and tendons of the hand and fingers run through this channel called the carpal tunnel, therefore, the muscles and tendons that are responsible for flexing the hand pass through this channel located in the wrist then some are inserted into the carpal bones and other tendons reach the fingers of the hand. The carpal tunnel protects the median nerve and the flexor tendons that flex the fingers and thumbs. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a neuropathy (pathology or nerve injury) in which there is excessive pressure on the median nerve. This is the nerve in the wrist that allows sensation and movement to parts of the hand. The median nerve provides sensation and movement to the thumb side of the hand. This includes the palm of the hand, the thumb, the index finger, the middle finger, and the ring finger side of the thumb side. Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause numbness, tingling, weakness, pain, or muscle damage in the hand and fingers.
Algunas personas que presentan este problema nacieron con un túnel carpiano pequeño. El síndrome del túnel carpiano también puede ser causado por hacer el mismo movimiento de la mano y la muñeca una y otra vez. El uso de herramientas manuales que vibran también puede llevar a este síndrome. Some people with this problem were born with a small carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel syndrome can also be caused by doing the same movement of the hand and wrist over and over again. The use of vibrating hand tools can also lead to this syndrome.
La neuropatía, o síndrome del túnel carpiano, afecta más a menudo a mujeres que hombres, con una proporción de 3 a 1, en particular a las mujeres en la menopausia. En mayoría de los casos afecta a personas entre 50 y 65 años, en la mayoría de los casos es bilateral y aparece junto con el dedo en gatillo. Los estudios no han demostrado que el síndrome del túnel carpiano puede ser causado por escribir en una computadora, utilizar un ratón, repetir movimientos al trabajar, tocar un instrumento musical o practicar deportes; pero estas actividades pueden causar dolor e hinchazón de los tendones de la mano, la cual puede estrechar el túnel carpiano y provocar síntomas. Al dormir, si la muñeca se mantiene en una posición sostenida de flexión, puede ocurrir que se pellizque el nervio mediano. Otro aspecto, es que algunas personas sinclemente nacen con un túnel del carpo estrecho, lo que facilita a los nervios a que se vean comprimidos. Otros factores como la retención de agua (por ejemplo, durante el embarazo), una hiperactividad de la glándula pituitaria, el uso repetido de los equipos de vibración, la artritis reumatoide y el hipotiroidismo pueden ser contribuyentes importantes en el desarrollo del síndrome del túnel del carpo. Por desgracia, a veces no hay una causa conocida, lo que dificulta el tratamiento. Neuropathy, or carpal tunnel syndrome, affects women more often than men, with a ratio of 3 to 1, particularly women in menopause. In most cases it affects people between 50 and 65 years old, in most cases it is bilateral and appears together with trigger finger. Studies have not shown that carpal tunnel syndrome can be caused by typing on a computer, using a mouse, repeating movements while working, playing a musical instrument, or playing sports; But these activities can cause pain and swelling of the tendons in the hand, which can narrow the carpal tunnel and cause symptoms. During sleep, if the wrist is held in a sustained flexed position, the median nerve can be pinched. Another aspect is that some people are simply born with a narrow carpal tunnel, which makes it easy for the nerves to be compressed. Other factors such as water retention (for example, during pregnancy), an overactive pituitary gland, repeated use of vibration equipment, rheumatoid arthritis, and hypothyroidism may be important contributors to the development of tunnel syndrome. carpus Unfortunately, sometimes there is no known cause, which makes treatment difficult.
Por otro lado, el sistema nervioso periférico es un conjunto de nervios que están en forma de red continua que nace desde el plexo braquial en la columna cervical. Por todo ello también puede estar relacionado con problemas que contribuyan a disminuir la flexibilidad y la movilidad de sistema nervioso periférico del brazo en su conjunto, problemas cervicales o tensión de la cadena muscular anterior del brazo, así como tendencia al Síndrome del desfiladero torácico, por tensión del pectoral menor, o del desfiladero de los escalenos siempre puede estar asociado a este Síndrome doloroso. On the other hand, the peripheral nervous system is a set of nerves that are in the form of a continuous network that originates from the brachial plexus in the cervical spine. For all these reasons, it can also be related to problems that contribute to reducing the flexibility and mobility of the peripheral nervous system of the arm as a whole, cervical problems or tension in the anterior muscular chain of the arm, as well as a tendency to thoracic outlet syndrome, for tension of the pectoralis minor, or of the scalene gorge can always be associated with this pain syndrome.
Al ser el síndrome del túnel carpiano una compresión de un nervio, los síntomas son de naturaleza neurológica, e incluyen entumecimiento, hormigueo, ardor, dolor y debilidad en la región invada por las ramas terminales el nervio mediano en la palma de la mano. El nervio mediano se encarga de la sensibilidad y la actividad muscular de la cara anterior del pulgar, dedo índice y la mitad del dedo anular, por lo que los sintomas ocurren en estas áreas. Con los casos más significativos, puede aparecer la atrofia de los músculos de la yema del pulgar (llamado la eminencia tenar). La debilidad también puede afectar el agarre en pinza entre el pulgar y el dedo índice. En la primera etapa del síndrome del túnel carpiano es sólo entumecimiento o adormecimiento en la noche y durante la primera hora después de despertar, esto evoluciona hacia la pérdida de la sensibilidad durante el dia. La afectación nerviosa incluye a los dedos pulgar, índice, medio y anular, ya que son inervados por ramas del nervio mediano. As carpal tunnel syndrome is a compression of a nerve, the symptoms are neurological in nature, and include numbness, tingling, burning, pain and weakness in the region invaded by the terminal branches of the median nerve in the palm of the hand. The median nerve is responsible for the sensitivity and muscle activity of the front of the thumb, index finger and half of the ring finger, so the symptoms occur in these areas. With the most significant cases, atrophy of the muscles of the ball of the thumb (called the thenar eminence) may appear. Weakness can also affect the pincer grip between the thumb and index finger. In the first stage of carpal tunnel syndrome it is only numbness or numbness at night and during the first hour after waking up, this progresses to loss of sensation during the day. Nerve involvement includes the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers, since they are innervated by branches of the median nerve.
En etapas avanzadas del síndrome del túnel carpiano, se presenta la irritación del nervio mediano causa dolor en la muñeca y el antebrazo. Con el tiempo se vuelve difícil sujetar objetos, cerrar el puño, entre hay un debilitamiento de los músculos de la mano, y de la eminencia tenar en particular. Es posible que la persona afectada tenga dificultad para dormir por la noche y se despierte con dolor y hormigueo. In advanced stages of carpal tunnel syndrome, irritation of the median nerve occurs causing pain in the wrist and forearm. Over time it becomes difficult to hold objects, to make a fist, between there is a weakening of the muscles of the hand, and of the thenar eminence in particular. The affected person may have difficulty sleeping at night and may wake up with pain and tingling.
Como la inflamación de los tendones locales pueden contribuir a los síntomas del túnel carpiano, la reducción de la inflamación es un objetivo del tratamiento farmacológico. Además de los medicamentos, el uso de la terapia con hielo puede ayudar a reducir la inflamación local. As inflammation of local tendons can contribute to carpal tunnel symptoms, reduction of inflammation is a goal of pharmacological treatment. In addition to medications, the use of ice therapy can help reduce local swelling.
Lo principal para el tratamiento de los síntomas es la limitación de actividades agravantes. Si escribir es el agravante principal, el uso de accesorios ergonómicos para escribir minimizará el estrés sobre el nervio. El uso de un cojín para el teclado mejora el ángulo de la muñeca. La sujeción entre el pulgar y el dedo índice puede llegar a ser débil, por lo que el uso de instrumentos de escritura con un diámetro mayor puede ser útil. The main thing for the treatment of symptoms is the limitation of aggravating activities. If writing is the main aggravating factor, the use of ergonomic writing aids will minimize stress on the nerve. Using a keyboard cushion improves the angle of the wrist. The grip between the thumb and index finger can become weak, so the use of writing instruments with a larger diameter can be helpful.
En los casos de dolor intenso y específicamente si los síntomas se producen por la noche, se recomienda el uso de la férula para la muñeca. La férula ayuda a mantener la muñeca en posición neutral, evitando la compresión del túnel. El tratamiento fisioterapéutico para el síndrome del túnel del carpo puede incluir la electroterapia, el masaje del tejido blando, y el ejercicio y los estiramientos. Los objetivos de la fisioterapia son mejorar la movilidad de los tejidos blandos, la flexibilidad el nervio para disminuir su atrapamiento y restaurar y estimular la fuerza muscular. In cases of severe pain and specifically if symptoms occur at night, the use of the wrist splint is recommended. The splint helps keep the wrist in a neutral position, preventing compression of the tunnel. Physical therapy treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome may include electrotherapy, soft tissue massage, and exercise and stretching. The goals of physiotherapy are to improve soft tissue mobility, nerve flexibility to reduce nerve entrapment, and restore and stimulate muscle strength.
