    My father had stroke 4 months ago and we bring him for rehab 2 times a week. Got some improvement after that, he can walk with a cane and move his hand a bit.

    Hi there. Good to know your father is recovering from his stroke. The first 6 months following stroke is the ‘golden time’ for neurological recovery.

I would advise a more comprehensive stroke rehabilitation program comprising of physiotherapy for physical strengthening, occupational therapy for hand function training and also retraining for activities of daily living and rehabilitation specialist assessment to assess if he is developing complications like spasticity and spasm.
