Thinking of taking my 82 yr old Dad who had a massive stroke late last summer.

I cannot believe that there is an injection of any kind that restores the ability to walk after this ability is lost with a massive stroke. I would suggest you contact the persons at UCLA by phone or letter.
Please be aware that I am unable to diagnose medical conditions online.
