Observational

Intervention Type : Other
Intervention Description : Baseline assessments include:1. The Mini Mental State Examination: the MMSE is a brief screening tool to provide quantitative assessment of cognitive function. It consists of 11 simple questions or tasks. Typically, they are grouped into seven domains; orientation to time, orientation to place, registration of three words, attention and calculation.2. Edinburgh Handedness Inventory: this is a brief questionnaire of 10 short items, which determines subject's hand dominance.3. Barthel Index: a simple index of independence in activities of daily living (ADL). It consists of 10 common ADL activities, which they are assessed for independence/dependence.4. Modified Physical Activity Scale for the elderly: a self reported physical activity questionnaire that covers one week.5. Berg Balance Scale (BBS): the BBS provides a quantitative assessment of balance. It consists of 14 items requiring subjects to maintain or complete movement tasks of varying levels of difficulty. All items are common to everyday life.

The results of the assessments above will be reported together with the primary/secondary outcomes, as they might correlate with differences in CMI.

Brain activation in both stroke and control subjects will be examined by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) alongside behavioural performance of walking and cognitive tasks (calculation). The participants will be asked to perform the concurrent tasks when seated and walking. Gait parameters will be measured using a well-validated gait analysis system (Xsens, The Netherlands).
