Inclusion Criteria

Stroke participant groups: Stroke (> 6 months).
Walking speed greater than or equal to 0.6m/s (selected to ensure a spread of walking speeds within the range of 0.6m/s to 1.2m/s, five participants will be distributed onto 5 different baskets of walking speed range equally divided from 0.6m/s to 1.2m/s, e.g. 5 participants will be in 0.6-0.72 m/s basket according to the result of the 10 metre walk test).
Able to walk unaided over 10 metres.
Manual muscle test equal or greater than 4/5 of the hip flexion, hip extension, knee flexion, knee extension, ankle plantarflexion and ankle dorsiflexion and able to follow verbal instructions

Healthy participant groups: no history of stroke, walking speed equal or greater than 1.2m/s unaided over 10 metres.
Manual muscle test is 5/5 of the hip flexion, hip extension, knee flexion, knee extension, ankle plantarflexion and ankle dorsiflexion and able to follow verbal instructions
