Stroke almost always result in some paralysis on one side of the body resulting in loss of function and mobility in the leg and /or arm. However, this loss isn’t necessarily permanent and there is a window of opportunity (around 6 months) for the brain and body to re-learn to use these muscles. Your physiotherapist will do exercises to keep these muscles toned and stimulated to prevent muscle contracture, strengthen your muscles and to train the limbs to regain voluntary movement.
