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.
