¿Participants should be in the sub-acute of recovery after sustaining a stroke, i.e. two weeks to six weeks post-stroke.

Exclusion Criteria

¿Participants who have sustained multiple previous CVIs ¿ as this will influence the participant¿s ability to show recovery and relearn motor tasks.
¿Participants who suffer from severe co-morbidities such as uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes, to ensure the safety of participants in the trial.
¿Participants with severe hemineglect ¿ this will influence the participants ability to climb stairs safely (as observed by the treating physiotherapist)
