Hello. Thanks for asking from HCM.


I can understand your concern about your father. As per history, this injury seems to be severe head injury. Your father is recovering from it and has come out from coma. Severe head injury patient's brain recovery and healing process continues for 18months. Recovery process fasten with active physiotherapy. So most of functions, he ll regain in 18months post injury. Degree of improvement in functions like memory, behaviour, thinking process, physical strength will vary for each patient according to his injuries area in brain, age - older age less recovery, physiotherapy, patient will power. So work hard on him, motivate him, give him good physiotherapy. He ll be able to do his routine activities with time.


Thanks. Hope it ll help you. take care.
