Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Paralysis due to brain injury/damage would gradually improve with exercises and physiotherapy. This can continue to occur for upto two years. Since only five months have passed, we can expect more improvement in the coming one and half years.
Be positive and continue the physiotherapy.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
