Summary
This pilot study tests a new rehab program for people recovering from a stroke. The program combines walking exercises with mental tasks, like counting backwards or stepping over obstacles. Researchers want to see if it's safe, doable, and helps improve walking in real-world situations. 36 participants will train 3 times a week for 4 weeks.
