General & Family Physician,  's  Response
In full coma state there would be no movement of body. So the movements noticed by you are good signs as suggesting recovery. But in multiple stroke case the speed of recovery can not be predicted. Though there is a chance of demotion of recovery process the body movement is a good sign of recovery. Some neuroprotector drugs may help his recovery.
