Gains can happen quickly or over time. The most rapid recovery usually occurs during the first three to four months after a stroke, but some stroke survivors continue to recover well into the first and second year post-stroke. Some signs point to physical therapy.
The recovery period is long for many patients. It can last for months or even years. Most patients, however, are able to function well enough to live at home within weeks. The chances of surviving a hemorrhagic stroke are less than for an ischemic stroke.
