There is no such treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX

Well looking into your issue I would like to tell you that after hemiplegia the recovery is very slow and often the power gained back is not comparable to normal .

Usually the power lacks in small muscles of hand which is called lack of dexteriy that is difficulty in performing skilled movements.

The problem in walking is the hemiplegic gait . I would advise you to stick with physiotherapy only as that is only treatment going to help you in regaining maximum power.

Take care.
