العودة أو الرجوع إلى الحالة الطبيعية


Explanation:
The sentence is vaguely ambiguous, but I will try to translate the meaning of the phrase ONLY:

"If you say that someone or something is on their feet again after an illness or difficult period, you mean that they have recovered and are back to normal."
