Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I would like to explain that these are good signs of recovery.

Coming to this point, the best thing to do now is continue physiotherapy. It is the best treatment to gain function of his limbs.

The damage to his spine is usually irreversible, but other regions of the spine can gain the function of the damaged regions.

That is why I would recommend continue actively physiotherapy. We can not know how much he will gain from this, but he should try to make his best.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Best wishes,

Dr. Iliri
