<s>[INST] hi , my father is 75 yr old , he is paralysed on right hand and leg before 2 yrs in 2010 january , he is suffering from weekness and walks with help of others and stick . is it cured or not in this age . sushma Agrawal Bhilai [/INST] Hi, Paralysis is caused due to damage to brain tissue in which tissue may not regenerate, so function may be achieved progressively, but function and control of distal components like feet and palm, may remain in some residual problem like skill and balance, coordination in feet and palm. I will say the first 6 months is very critical, if you do exercises well then we would have regained strength and power after 9 years in 2019, its already passed 9 years, function can be regained but JOINT control and skill will be a bit difficult, you need to continue physiotherapy treatment for years if you want to make him independent in his lifestyle. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Hem ang S Jane, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist </s>
