Summary

This study looks at how people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago learn a new walking pattern using distorted visual feedback. Researchers want to see if a short 5-minute exercise session helps them remember the new walking pattern a day later. 80 participants will be split into a control group or an exercise group to compare results.

What could go wrong: This is an early-stage observational study with no direct treatment. Results may not apply to all stroke survivors, and the exercise effect may be small or absent.
