Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your father is on correct treatment. Physiotherapy is the best option to improve the strength of hand. So, please continue it. However, in some cases, cmoplete recovery of strength does not occur.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
