WHAT IS PCOS?

PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. It causes enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges. Women with PCOS may have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or excess Male hormone(Androgen) levels.

Normally the ovaries make huge amount of female sex hormones and small amount of male sex hormones. This helps regulate normal development of egg in the ovaries during each menstrual cycle.


In PCOS these hormones get imbalanced and they start making slightly more androgens (male hormones). This causes complete or partial stoppage of ovulation, acne, Hirsutism, and other symptoms. 

In PCOS, eggs of follicles are not matured and are not released from the ovaries they form small cysts in the ovary, hence the name Polycystic Ovaries.

What is Anatomical pulley? Example of Anatomical pulley

Understanding the Importance of Anatomical Pulleys in Physiotherapy As a physiotherapy student, it is essential to have a good understanding of the human body's anatomy and how it works. One of the essential structures in the body that plays a significant role in movement and biomechanics is the anatomical pulley. In this article, we will explore what an anatomical pulley is, its types, and its importance in physiotherapy. What is an Anatomical Pulley? A pulley is a simple mechanical machine that consists of a wheel that turns readily on the axle, usually grooved for a rope or a wire cable. In the human body, the pulley is replaced by a bone, cartilage, or ligament, and the cord is replaced by a muscle tendon. The tendon is lubricated by synovial fluid, and the surface of the tendon is covered by a thin visceral synovial membrane. The tendon is lubricated so that it may easily slide over the pulley. Classification of Anatomical Pulleys There are mainly four classes of pulleys ...

Range of Muscle work in Physiotherapy

The degree of the movement done by muscle contraction is known as the Range of muscle work. The range can be measured with the help of a goniometer. Movement is a very complex mechanism, a lot of muscles are working in a group and in synchronized pattern to draw out the perfect desirable movement. As per function we already talked about Agonist, antagonist, Synergist, and fixator muscles.
