Recovery is as unique as each person who suffers a stroke. Just as each person will have different impairments, the timeline for recovery will vary. For some, full recovery is possible with treatment but could take weeks, months, or even years. Others will have long-term impairments. It has been found that the most rapid recovery usually happens in the first 3-4 months after a CVA, but improvements have been seen up to 2 years post-stroke. Your care team will do everything they can to help you set reasonable expectations and meet your specific goals.
