Nerve damage from stroke can usually not be fixed, but recovery is possible over time. You should discuss this with your neurologist regarding physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, etc.
The damage itself cannot be fixed, but physical therapy can help improve function
Hello, It often can improve, however that depends on the nature of the stroke and the baseline characteristics of the patient. I would advise you talking to the stroke neurologist for a better prognosis on this issue. Hope this helps! Be well, Aleka Scoco, MD
