Summary

The purpose of this research is to study the improvements from walking practice that is vigorous enough to keep participants' heart rate over a certain target level during their physical therapy sessions. The investigators want to know about improvements in participants' walking function and mental health after 20 interventions. The study also aims to evaluate if participants' mental health, social support, and health literacy affect their attendance at physical therapy sessions.

BEHAVIORAL

High intensity gait training

Participants will practice walking that is vigorous enough to keep their heart rate over a certain level during their physical therapy sessions. During the sessions, participants will walk and step vigorously enough to keep the heart rate between 60-80% of their maximum heart rate. Maintaining this heart rate during exercise helps to improve heart health and walking, which can affect people after a stroke.
