low recovery after the first year....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I went through the details posted and the reports. You had an ischemic stroke one year ago. Post initial treatment the main form of treatment is physiotherapy. However the most benefits of physiotherapy is found in the first 6-12 months.

Unfortunately as its almost an year now, any form of improvement is minimal.

This answer is based on the current statistics and my experience working with stroke patients. Continue physiotherapy to avoid spasticity. This will allow you to be more XXXXXXX and more independent.

Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.
