Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The control group will undergo 12 treatments of the same nature, but will watch the movie clip shown backwards, so that the people filmed will seem to walk backwards (it was established that watching a reversed action does not activate the MNS system activated by a regular execution of the activity \[Celnik et al., 2008\]), followed by 6 minutes of walking under the experimenters supervision, then watching the movie again and walking again.
The person performing the examinations will be blinded as to the division of the subjects to the study group and the control group. After performing the previously noted examinations needed to participate in the research, the subjects found fit will be examined before the beginning of the intervention, at its end and then three months after its conclusion. The examinations will include smart step and walking parameters.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
study group
People after a first ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, up to 60 days following the event.
watching a normal walking clip
the study group will gain an intervention consisting of 12 therapy sessions, administered for 12 consecutive days (apart of weekends). The intervention will include 6 minutes of watching a movie clip alternately showing a healthy man and a healthy woman at their sixties, walking while being filmed from various angles. Immediately after watching, the subject will perform 6 minutes of walking, under the experimenters supervision, but without his or hers intervention. Immediately following the walking, the whole procedure will be repeated (watching a clip and walking).
CONTROL
People after a first ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, up to 60 days following the event.
watching walk backward clip
The control group will undergo 12 treatments of the same nature, but will watch the movie clip shown backwards, so that the people filmed will seem to walk backwards (it was established that watching a reversed action does not activate the MNS system activated by a regular execution of the activity \[Celnik et al., 2008\]), followed by 6 minutes of walking under the experimenters supervision, then watching the movie again and walking again.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* A FAC (Functional Ambulation Category) score test result of 2 or 3, in order to ensure basic mobility, even if still requiring supervision.
* A NIHSS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale) score of 3 to 18.
* Patients suffering from the following will not be part of the study:
* Significant neglect (a BIT score under 129 in the conventional tests).
* Hemianopsy as determined upon a clinical examination by a rehabilitation physician.
* Clarity of vision problem, determined upon an SC based examination.
* Significant cognitive decline (a Mini mental test score of under 24).
* Aphasia which prevents understanding the signing a Helsinki form.
