Lacuna stroke patient recovers better then the other stroke cases where the large blood vessels are affected. Based on severity the recovery time will be 3 to 6 month and as patient gets stable with medical parameters. to deal with physical disability you need to admit her or take her to rehabilitation center where she can get both physiotherapy, occupational therapy and if needed speech therapy. the recovery prognosis are good with lacuna stroke. Take care.
