Depending on the extent of the stroke, there may be partial to nearly full recovery when appropriate rehabilitation therapy is instituted. Taking into account that the longer it takes to present some regaining of function, the less likely it is to produce significant recovery.
Depending on the severity of the stroke, most people recover the use of a limb to some degree with proper physical therapy.
