Here I strongly recommend you to take physiotherapy for him if his medical condition is stable. The time for improvement is not define but it depends on the damage in brain. Also the amount of improvement also depends on the same. If it's a minor attack of stroke then definitely he can improve a lot or else functional mobility should be the goal. Hope you got the answer. Take care
