This all depends on the extent of the stroke, how quickly you received treatment when the stroke was recognized, How old the patient is and if they had prior strokes, And How well the patient works with post stroke therapy. In many cases some of the weakness and deficits from a stroke can be recovered from But it's a case by case basis. The most important thing is to recognize and get the emergency room immediately, Start acute treatment, And work with the professionals to do ongoing treatment and therapy post stroke for optimum performance and recovery.
The answer is yes, but! Only time and good rehabilitation will determine how much useful function she will recover.
