Hi dear sathiya,
May God bless you and your sister.I really have sympathy.Post encephalitis sequelae,the longer it gets,the more irreversible it becomes.It may be in the form of any residual focal deficit,as in your's sister's case is memory loss and left lower limb weakness.I would ask you to take your sister to a neurologist ,along with Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)of the brain and cerebrospinal fluid analysis(CSF,if done at the time of illness) reports of that time.May be,he will do the examination,and again ask for a MRI to see the current situation.Along with ,please meet a expert physiotherapist,as what matters most in physiotherapy is the proper technique.Probably,It helps you.
