Hello, As there will be some inflammation in the spinal cord due to the operation and this will take its time. It s a good sign that her sensations are coming back that means we can even expect the upper limb and lower limb movements to resume back. Continue physiotherapy which can help to maintain the muscle property and as the inflammation will keep coming down the movement will regain back. This is normal in many cases undergoing Cervical spine surgery and most of them recover with slow pace if the spinal cord is not damaged. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
