Condition 3 months after treatment
3 months after the treatment, significant improvements in speech and spasticity in the arms have already been noticed. The patient still had difficulty moving her arm and had no movements in her hand and fingers. However, her doctors believe that she has a good chance of improving more, taking into account the progress she has already made.
