Medical reports submitted to Brazil's Supreme Court indicate that former President Jair Bolsonaro is showing clinical improvement, though his physical condition has fluctuated during the week. Bolsonaro, who has been under house arrest since March 2026 due to a bacterial pneumonia diagnosis, is recovering from shoulder surgery and managing chronic conditions. His heart health and blood pressure remain stable, but he experiences variations in physical stamina. Doctors are using high doses of central-action medication to manage his frequent hiccup episodes, which have been largely controlled but cause side effects like excessive daytime sleepiness and loss of balance. His physiotherapy plan focuses on strengthening exercises for his shoulder with elastic bands and manual techniques to restore movement. The Supreme Court is expected to decide whether to extend his house arrest or return him to closed custody soon, amid opposition demands for his return to prison following the recent seizure of a weapon linked to him.

This request is based on the fact that the Federal Police was unable to serve Bolsonaro with a summons related to a firearm seized during an operation in Taguatinga, DF. The police stated that Bolsonaro's security team prevented the investigation.
