Title: Reshaping Exercise Habits and Beliefs (REHAB): Pilot Testing of a Behavioral Intervention to Improve Mobility After Stroke
Brief Summary: Regular exercise has been demonstrated to improve muscle strength, balance, coordination as well as improve cardiovascular fitness levels and overall quality of life in stroke survivors. This study is designed to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a 12-week intervention to education and encourage stroke survivors to exercise following discharge from rehabilitation settings using a walking program and targeted functional activity homework.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects in this study will:

* be aged over 50 years.
* be between one week and three months after stroke when recruited to the study;
* have been independently mobile indoors, with or without aids, before the stroke;
* have some voluntary movement in the paretic lower limb i.e. score above 28/100 on the lower limb section of the Motricity Index43;
* demonstrate adequate orientation and communication (be able to complete a one-stage command using the non-paretic upper limb e.g. point at the ceiling).

In addition those who agree to participate in TMS measurement will have no contraindications to TMS.
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)

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

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:

* Patients informed and giving their written consent.First
* Ever ischemic hemispheric or haemorrhagic stroke, unilateral, occurred between the 25th and the 72nd previous hours
* Age ≥ 18 years old
* Motricity quoted by an NIHSS \>=2 in the upper limb or in the lower limb

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patient without health insurance.
* Coma (NIHSS consciousness \> or = 2)
* Total recovery within the 24 first hours
* Brain stem or cerebellar stroke
* Previous neurological history, specially stroke or dementia
* Inability to understand the study
* Surgical treatment of the stroke
* Autonomy before stroke assessed by Rankin score different from 0
* Scheduled surgery in the following 15 days
D: Inclusion Criteria:

1. 40-85 years old ischemic Stroke patients,
2. Stroke onset \<90 days at enrollment,
3. Hemiparetic gait disorder,
4. Patients able to walk 30ft with or w/out assistive device,
5. Sufficient English comprehension to understand instructions, provide consent, and answer questions,
6. Lives within 30 miles of the Greater Baltimore area.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Dementia (extended MMSE \<85 or \<80 if education level below 9th grade),
2. Untreated major clinical depression (CES-D\>16) and confirmed with clinical interview,
3. Heavy alcohol use (\<3 oz liquor, 3, 4-oz glasses of wine, or 3, 12- oz beers daily),
4. Active cancer, or any illness with a life expectancy of less than 6 months,
5. Any condition in which exercise activity would be contraindicated including, but not limited to: unstable angina, cardiac ischemic event within the past 6 months, congestive heart failure (Stage III or IV), major orthopedic chronic pain or non-stroke neuromuscular disorders restricting exercise, oxygen-dependent COPD or peripheral neuropathy.
