General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Stroke can cause weakness of one side of the body and face. The weakness and impaired movements takes long time to recover and there is almost always some residual weakness persist. She can walk with long term physiotherapy. Continue physiotherapy and keep motivated. Stretching exercises can prevent contraction and helps in faster recovery.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
