m-health stroke rehabilitation	Multimodal Exercise Rehabilitation Program	8-week multimodal exercise rehabilitation program (MERP) based on aerobic exercise, task oriented activities, balance and stretching exercises complemented with a mobile app technology

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Adherence	8 weeks	Adherence will be monitored with an app that will record activity time (walking time and distance)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Gait speed	8 weeks	Gait speed will be measured with the Ten Meter Walking Test (10MWT). Participants will be given a 2-meter warm-up distance for walking, preceding the 10-meter distance, and 2 meters beyond the 10 meters. The time that takes to walk 10 meters at a comfortable pace and at their maximum speed will be registered in meters/second
