Dear user,
thank you for your question, sorry to hear about your mother, rehabilitation is crucial for stroke patients, many of them will get better relatively ofcourse with proper care. you can start with bed side muscle exercises pushing against force for example ask her to push with her leg against your hand 10 times then rest then repeat for a 3 times then repeat 3 times per day until she can do more based on her improvement decrease or increase until she regain some stamina.
rate my question so i can help more patients.
hope that helped.
