JimCav's post sent me searching the New Yorker archives, and while I didn't find the article to which he alluded (I don't think), I did find this one that might be somewhat educational even if it doesn't give concrete advice. (I don't know if it's limited to subscribers, but let me know if you're unable to access it.)

I do wish I could remember--it had to be 2012 or 2013 as it had to do with my dad's recovery. It might not have been in The New Yorker. The gist was the guy literally had to act like a baby as far as mobility--he crawled until his brain rewired things to allow more than crawling, like we all did as babies; but slower, more painful, and more frustrating: but it worked.
