Jean-Francois Payen, a doctor at the French hospital in Grenoble where Michael Schumacher was treated, warned that any recovery would take time.
The typical convalescence period was one to three years, the doctor suggested.
Michael Schumacher, 45, was skiing in the French Alps last December when he fell and hit his head on a rock.
The seven-time world champion from Germany was placed in a medically induced coma to help reduce swelling in his brain as he underwent treatment in Grenoble and then in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Michael Schumacher has now been taken out of the coma and is being looked after at his home in Gland, Switzerland, where Prof. Jean-Francois Payen still visits him to track his progress.
On October 23, Dr. Jean-Francois Payen gave interviews to French radio station RTL and Le Parisien newspaper.
“I have noted some progress but I would say we should give him time,” he said.
Asked about the chances of Michael Schumacher making a recovery, Dr. Jean-Francois Payen only referred to a time frame for patients with similar brain injuries.
“It’s like for other patients, we are on a timescale which goes from one year to three years and we need to be patient,” he said.
