Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Hypothesis: The primary hypothesis is that improvements in walking balance will be larger following 12 sessions of FAST exercise retraining compared to usual care in persons in the sub-acute phase after stroke.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Usual care
The usual care will consist of strength training, endurance, range of motion, patient education, weight shifting in standing and gait re-training.
Usual Care
The Usual Care program will consist of 2 sessions a week for 45 minutes for a 6 week duration.
FAST protocol
The Fast muscle activation and stepping training will be the Experimental arm of this trial. This program will be exercises emphasizing speed of movement.
FAST protocol
The Fast muscle activation and Stepping Training (FAST protocol) will be exercises emphasizing speed, small squats and protective steps, that will be progressed. This program will be 2 sessions a week for 45 minutes for 6 weeks in duration.
