The extent to which hemiplegia can be recovered from cerebral infarction mainly depends on the specific condition of the patient, such as the type of cerebral infarction, the size of the infarction area and the location of the infarction, etc. If the condition is mild, there is a possibility of a full recovery without leaving any traces. If the condition is severe, the hemiplegia may not be recovered and the patient will be disabled for life. 1. Type of infarction: Cerebral infarction can be categorized into 5 types, including large artery atherosclerosis type, small artery occlusion type, cardiogenic embolism, other etiology type, and unexplained type. Comparatively speaking, the prognosis of patients with small artery occlusion type of cerebral infarction is generally better, and most of the patients can be completely or basically recovered to normal. 2. Size of infarction area: Patients with lacunar cerebral infarction with small infarction area can generally return to normal, but some of them may have minor symptoms such as numbness of limbs, dizziness, etc. Patients with large cerebral infarction may have a better prognosis. For patients with large cerebral infarction, it is difficult for their body functions to return to normal, and sequelae such as hemiplegia may not be recovered. 3. Site of infarction: Since the brainstem is the center of human life, cerebral infarction occurring in the brainstem has a higher possibility of death, and the probability of hemiplegia recovery for surviving patients is small. Cerebral infarction occurring in the basal ganglia region has more serious clinical symptoms and hemiplegia may not recover. On the other hand, patients with non-functional cerebral infarction can usually recover to normal. It is recommended that patients with cerebral infarction actively cooperate with doctors in order to save their lives and maximize the recovery of their physical functions.
