General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I am sorry to hear about his disabilities. Stroke can leave people with certain impairments generally. Many people improve, but all that is needed is physiotherapy and rehabilitation. However, few people may be left with permanent disabilities. If any improvement has to occur in this case that should have happened much earlier. If it didn't occur in 2 years it's unlikely to occur now. But still, best care should be given that can be done at home.

Hope I have answered your question. I will be glad to answer any further questions.

Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman , General & Family Physician
