I have not tried cerebrolysin in. My walking is about the same as it has been and I still have pretty good balance and haven't fallen even after taking three cruises last year including one to Antarctica and going through the Drake passage.
I came across a doctor in Florida that offers a treatment for stroke named doctor Tobinick. Google his name and watch some all the videos that are available including the 1 from 60 minutes Australia. I'm scheduled to have this shot in March and hope for improvement. From what I understand the only downside is that it doesn't do anything to improve my condition which only happens to about 20% of his patients and he's treated thousands. If ones impairment is caused by permanent brain damage it won't help but if it is caused by inflammation and some brain cells have gone into hibernation it wakes them up. Some of the results that he has obtained for his patients have been nothing short of miraculous.

@pete555947 Hey!
Started following the post, we are in the UK. My brother had an AVM and consequently ended up having a stroke where he lost complete use of his left arm- it seems contracted and also left leg weakness. He uses a stick but is very slow. Here in the UK, we are struggling to find Cerebrolysin, and possibly one clinic is claiming to have it but we are unsure if it will help. In the past due to odema swelling on the brain, he was given Avastin- and when he was on that IV drip, his arm would relax and soften, so we feel its likely it is as you said hibernating and needs waking up.
How are you getting on your recivery journey, has anuthing else made a significant difference? You mentioned a treatment shit in Florida, did you go for it?
