Title: N/A
Brief Summary: Stroke survivors, as a group, are extremely inactive and this has serious consequences for them, including an increased risk of a second stroke and developing other diseases. This study investigates a novel intervention designed to improve everyday activity after stroke by combining walking training to improve walking capacity with a program to encourage more daily walking.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* ≥ 20years of age;
* diagnosis of stroke (\>6months);
* sedentary or insufficiently active;
* have a writing medical permission to participate in the training program.

Exclusion Criteria:

* cognitive impairment (Mini-Mental Status Examination score: illiterate 13 points; elementary and middle school 18 points; and high-school 26 points; or inability to respond to verbal command);
* inability to walk independently for at least 10 minutes, with or without walking devices;
* pain or other disorders precluding their participation.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age 21-85
2. Chronic stroke (\>6 months post stroke)
3. Able to walk at self-selected speed without assistance from another person (assistive devices are allowed)
4. Self-selected walking speed \>0.3 m/s and \<1.0 m/s
5. Average steps/day \<8,000
6. Resting heart rate between 40-100 beats per minute
7. Resting blood pressure between 90/60 to 170/90.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Evidence of cerebellar stroke
2. Other potentially disabling neurologic conditions in addition to stroke
3. Lower limb Botulinum toxin injection \<4 months earlier
4. Current participation in physical therapy
5. Inability to walk outside the home prior to the stroke
6. Coronary artery bypass graft, stent placement or myocardial infarction within past 3 months
7. Musculoskeletal pain that limits activity
8. Inability to communicate with investigators
9. score \>1 on question 1b and \>0 on question 1c on the NIH Stroke Scale.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Inpatient at Caulfield Hospital Neurological Rehabilitation Unit at the time of recruitment
* Diagnosis of first stroke
* Presence of lower limb weakness determined by \>10% difference in knee extensor strength between sides
* Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) \> 3
* Can walk a minimal distance of 14 metres (to allow measurement on a 10metre walk test (10MWT)

Participants who meet all the inclusion criteria except for their FAC score will have their FAC score re-measured on a weekly basis until they reach a score of greater than or equal to 3, at which point they become eligible and will be approached for recruitment.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Unable to provide informed consent (determined by consultation with rehabilitation consultant and the team neuropsychologist)
* Other diagnosed central nervous system disorder affecting mobility
* Active oncological diagnosis
* Unstable medication condition such as unstable diabetes or unstable cardiac condition that would prevent participation in cardiovascular activity
* Recent orthopaedic trauma and/or osteoarthritis that would limit participation in physical exercise
* Not willing to continue to attend the program if they discharge home before the end of the six week program
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Informed consent
* Clinical diagnosis of first or recurrent stroke, hemorrhage or infarct.
* Recruited within 24 hours of onset of stroke symptoms
* Admission in a stroke care unit
* Consciousness: At a minimum patient must at least react to verbal commands.

Exclusion Criteria:

* pre stroke mRS of 3,4 or 5
* Deterioration in patients condition resulting in direct admission to ICU, decision to palliate or surgery.
* Concurrent diagnosis of rapidly deteriorating disease
* Unstable coronary or other medical condition that is judged by the investigator to impose a hazard to the patient by involvement
* Patients unable to be mobilized within 24 hours of onset. (eg bed rest policy post tPA, lower limb fracture)
* Other interventional trials
* Systolic BP less than 110 or greater than 220mmHg
* Oxygen saturation of less than 92 % with supplementation
* Resting heart rate of less than 40 or greater than 110 beats per minute
* Temperature of greater than 38.5 degrees C
