General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Some patients with stroke recover quickly. But most need some form of long-term stroke rehabilitation, lasting possibly months or years after their stroke.

Your stroke rehabilitation plan will change during your recovery as you relearn skills and your needs change. According to statistics, 10% have a full recovery and about 40% have a disability after stroke.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
