Title: Walking Training With Partial Body Weight Support on Static and Dynamic Surfaces in Individuals With Hemiparesis Due to Stroke
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is evaluate the effects of walking training with partial body weight support on static (floor) and dynamic (treadmill) surfaces in individuals with hemiparesis due to stroke. For this purpose, two training protocols will be employed in three experimental groups: G1 will do the walking training with partial body weight support on static surfaces and G2 will do the walking training with partial body weight support on dynamic surfaces

A: Inclusion Criteria:

* One-sided hemiparesis, No heart disease (or medical clearance to participate in the study), No orthopedic impairments and / or neurological symptoms that may alter the the gait, no history of thrombophlebitis or deep vein thrombosis, Ability to understand and follow verbal commands, Can walk alone or with canes of approximately 10 m; Spasticity degree mild to moderate in the affected lower limb with levels of classification between 0 and 2 in the Ashworth spasticity scale modified

Exclusion Criteria:

* Heart frequency increase more than 75% of the maximum or have any other general instability during training that may lead risk for the health during the training,
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Serious cardiac conditions (history of congestive heart failure, documented serious and unstable cardiac arrhythmias, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, severe aortic stenosis, angina or dyspnea at rest or during activities of daily living). Anyone meeting New York Heart Association criteria for Class 3 or Class 4 heart disease will be excluded

* History of sustained alcoholism or drug abuse in the last six months
* Major post-stroke depression as measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire(PHQ-9 \>/= 10) that is not medically managed with antidepressant medication and/or psychotherapy

Inclusion and exclusion criteria will be determined by a chart review, depression screen and subject interview by study physician or study coordinator. After initial chart and subject interview, each subject's treating physician will be asked to review inclusion and exclusion criteria and provide a letter supporting inclusion in the study. All subjects who meet selection criteria must successfully complete an exercise tolerance test
C: Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:

* Any barriers to taking part in a physical rehabilitation program
* Insufficient cognition/language
* Unstable cardiac status
* Neuro-surgery
* Any pre-morbid history of orthopaedic conditions or any other problems that would preclude patient from relearning to walk.
D: Inclusion Criteria:
