Question : My sister fell sick post her baby delivery and now she is on wheelchair. She is 26 year old. Her condition is improving at snail's pace day by day. She can walk slowly for 30 ft with walker support when someone is behind for confidence. Attached is her report. Could you please explain what this report mean and her chances of walking back again.

She would continue to improve.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your sister's condition, and am glad to hear that she is improving, though at a very slow pace.

Her improvement would continue in future too, and will be faster with good physiotherapy.

There are no specific medications, however, ensure good protein-rich diet.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
