ABSTRACT
THE MANAGEMENT OF PHYSIOTHERAPY TOWARD ISCHIALGIA e.c HERNIA NUCLEUS PULPOSUS IN RSUD DR. LOEKMONO HADI KUDUS
(RISKA ANNISA, 2018)
Background : Back pain is often felt between the lower back to folding the lower back of lumbar or lumbosacral areas such as in the ischialgia, it felt by a painful trip to the limbs. One of the causes of ischialgia is Hernia Nucleus Pulposus (HNP) is by moving of the discus material with protruding nucleus to the outer annulus, so that the result the pressuring is happened.
Objective : The aim of this scientific writing is to know the management of physiotherapy toward ischialgia e.c Hernia Nucleus Pulposus case by transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation modality and mc kenzie exercise therapy.
Methode : The method of this scientific writing was used case study method. It was conducted in the electrotherapy in Dr. loekmono hadi kudus hospital start from 02nd up to 28th April, 2018 which the implementation of therapy 5 times a week by using transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation modality and mc kenzie exercise therapy. The aim of giving transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation modality is to reduce the pain, then giving the mc kenzie exercise is to increase the scope of motion of the trunk and to increase the strength of trunk muscle, finally it increased the functional of prosperity.
Results : After doing the action of physiotherapy for 5 times, the result showed the decreased pain, increased scope of trunk joint motion, increased muscle strength trunk and increased functional activity. Then the use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation modality and mc kenzie exercise therapy can help to overcome the problem in the case of ischialgia e.c Hernia Nucleus Pulposus.
