General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

No, unfortunately the changes described aren't curable and his difficulties may progress.
This means he may have progression of his symptoms.

Physiotherapy and occupational therapy may help somewhat so you can discuss these options with his doctor.

I hope this helps
