Motor memory and stroke rehab

I have been reading books on the brain . The latest one was A User's Guide to the Brain by Ratey, John J. In it was a discussion on motor memory which led to my thinking that maybe it is possible to reverse engineer this so the memories of movements can be laid down as actual movement control in whatever new location is possible. I used to be a computer programmer, at times when we lost the programming source code we would take the load module and disassemble it back to actual coding statements. Similar to reverse engineering an iPhone to see how it works. Why couldn't we try the same thing with motor memories or whatever lost functions there are.
Talk about pie-in-the-sky ideas, I think too much about all things stroke related.
