Is there a way to come back from a stroke. after 19 yr?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stroke Recovery: The ability of cerebral (brain) improvement after a stroke is limited. Some recovery (also called plasticity) can be achieved with transfer of function to other areas, but this function diminishes with age. Most sources report maximum recovery to be about two years. At 19 years after a stroke, recovery is not optimal.
