Umqolo oqhelekileyo nophilileyo ubonakala uthe tye xa ujongwa ngaphambili okanye ngasemva. Xa ujongwa ecaleni, umqolo oqhelekileyo ubonisa igophe elincinci elimile okwe-“S”.
Zeziphi iindawo ezenza umqolo?
Umqolo wenziwe ngamathambo angama-24 ashukumayo abizwa ngokuba yi-vertebrae. Umqolo wahlulwe waba ngamacandelo amathathu ahlukeneyo. Kukho amathambo omqolo wesibeleko okanye entanyeni asixhenxe, amathambo omqolo ali-12 esifubeni okanye esiphakathi kunye namathambo omqolo amahlanu e-lumbar okanye asezantsi.
Umqolo wenziwe ngamacandelo amathathu aqhelekileyo. Inxalenye ephezulu ngumqolo wesibeleko, oqhagamshelwe kwikhakayi. Inxalenye ephakathi yi-vertebrae yesifuba, ebonakaliswa ziimbambo eziqhagamshelwe kwi-vertebra nganye. Inxalenye esezantsi ngumqolo we-lumbar. Iqhagamshelwa ne-pelvis kwi-sacrum.
Ii-vertebra zibekwe phezu komnye nomnye kwaye zahlulwe ziidiski. Umqolo unesimo esiqhelekileyo esigobileyo. Xa ujongwa kwicala, umqolo awuthe nkqo phezulu nasezantsi, kodwa ugobile ngendlela ethi “S”. Umqolo wesibeleko unegophe langaphakathi elibizwa ngokuba yi “kyphosis”. Umqolo wesifuba ugobile ngaphandle. Le gophe ibizwa ngokuba yi-kyphosis. Umqolo we-lumbar uhlala unegophe langaphakathi okanye i-lordosis. Igophe le-“S” elibonwa kwicala livumela ukufunxwa komothuko kwaye lisebenza njengentwasahlobo xa umqolo uthwele ubunzima. Le gophe inomfanekiso we-’S’ – igcina ibhalansi kwiindawo zangaphambili nangasemva zomqolo.
Intambo yomqolo ikwindawo engaphakathi komjelo owenziwe ngamathambo omqolo. Iingcambu zemithambo-luvo zikhula kwintambo yomqolo. Ezi mithambo-luvo zibonelela ngemisipha yengalo, yesiqu, neyemilenze ukuze ishukume. Zikwabonelela ngamandla kwimisipha ekwizitho ezifana nesinyi.
Idiski ye-intervertebral ngumqamelo ogcwele ulwelo ophakathi kwamathambo omqolo. I-cartilage lulwaleko olugquma umphezulu wamalungu, olunefuthe elithile lokukhusela kwaye lukhusela amathambo. Ikwanayo nenqanaba elithile lokuthamba, eliluncedo kwimisebenzi.
