Gains can happen quickly or over time. The most rapid recovery usually occurs during the first three to four months after a stroke, but some stroke survivors continue to recover well into the first and second year post-stroke. Some signs point to physical therapy.
Doctors, nurses, and therapists can only guess at how a patient will respond according to the location and severity of stroke. It is the support of the survivorâs family, friends, and self that can make all the difference in recovery. Recovery from stroke happens in a âtwo steps forward, one step backâ process. There may be days of remarkable recovery for the stroke patient, and then there may be days of great loss. It is during this time that caregivers, friends, and family must find joy in the smallest of gains in your loved one.
