How do doctors make predictions of how long someone will live or if they’ll ever walk normally again?

I was rewatching an old video on YouTube and the guy was able to walk again after 10 months of practicing yoga and losing 140 lbs. If no one on earth can exactly predict when someone will die or if they’ll be able to walk again, how and why do doctors come up with these predictions?

I’m not sure if anyone else brought up this point but that guy put a lot of work into his recovery. Most doctors are basing their predictions like that off patients they had in the past, I’m not sure how common it is for a patient to put as much work as that guy did. changing his diet, losing 140 lbs, getting an exercise routine. He is putting in more work than a lot of healthy people
