How long to recover from muscle atrophy?

For context, I'm currently working on a short story series centered on a young man living in a dystopian America. This U.S. government keeps its 'undesirables' in medically-induced comas (long story why), and my protagonist is rescued from a prison facility by the resistance after spending seven months in a comatose state on a bed.

I've been researching the effects of how lack of exercise for extended periods of time, but I was wondering something: how long would it take for an average human being to fully recover from muscle atrophy caused by a 7-month-long coma?
