After rehabilitation, about 60% of stroke patients can take care of their daily activities by the end of the first year, 20% need some help, 15% need more help, and only 5% need all help. From your description, you should be in the range of “15% need more help”. It is generally believed that recovery of motor function in stroke patients with hemiplegia can begin within a few days of onset, with maximum recovery occurring within 1 to 3 months, slowing down after 3 months, and peaking in 90% of patients after 6 months. Others believe that recovery of stroke patients is meaningless after six months, and further exercise of patients will not restore more physical function. This understanding is wrong and delays timely and adequate rehabilitation of many patients. In fact, we have found in our clinic that many patients still have further improvement in physical function after receiving combined Chinese and Western medicine rehabilitation treatment 1 year after stroke, and the function that has been recovered will often regress if we do not insist on rehabilitation exercises.
