Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria4
- Adults with Hemiparesis after an unilateral first ever stroke
- Able to walk in security
- Time since stroke within 3 months to 1 year
- Sufficient cognitive function to understand and perform corresponding tasks
Exclusion Criteria4
- Any history of neurological disorders or cardiovascular instability

Interventions
30 minutes of active leg cycling with or without FES applied to the paretic rectus femoris of quadriceps and to the biceps femoris and semitendinosus muscles and gluteus maximus, 3 times/weeks for 8 weeks. During training, participants will be seated on a FES-Cycle (Hepha Bike, Kurage): a cyclo-ergometer (Technogym) combined with a 8 channel controlled stimulator (Motimove-8).
