Cardio exercises strengthen the muscles that support your knee and increase flexibility. Weight training and stretching do, too. For cardio, some good choices include walking, swimming and water aerobics, stationary cycling and elliptical machines. Tai chi may also help ease stiffness and improve balance.
Hydrocephalus is a buildup of fluid inside the skull that leads to brain swelling. Hydrocephalus means water on the brain.
Hydrocephalus and Shunts. Hydrocephalus is a condition in the brain in which there is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles, which then increases the intracranial pressure within the skull. It can be the result of a variety of different diseases and injuries including those that cause disruptions to the absorption of CSF or an obstruction to the CSF flow (Koutoukidis et al. 2016). There are different treatments available for those with hydrocephalus depending on many individual factors, but often can involve insertion of a shunt.
