Phase 1 — Testing in a small group (usually 20–80 people) to find a safe dose and watch for side effects.
This is a small pilot study testing whether a program called BOOST GAIT can help people who have had a stroke recover better walking ability and independence with daily activities. During the program, you would participate in five one-hour therapy sessions per week for four weeks, led by two physiotherapists working with a small group of four patients. The therapy focuses on exercises that help retrain your leg muscles and restore a more normal walking pattern.
After a stroke, many people struggle with walking and everyday movements because the stroke affects how their muscles and nerves work on one side of the body. This pilot study is designed to see if adding this specialized intensive therapy—on top of regular rehabilitation—might help people recover walking function more effectively, and to prepare for a larger study that could prove whether this approach really works.

You would attend five one-hour therapy sessions each week for four weeks, in addition to your regular rehabilitation care. Each session is a small group class with three other patients and two physiotherapists who guide you through exercises like standing up from a chair, balancing, stepping, and walking. The therapists will use special motion sensors to measure how well you're walking and moving at the start and end of the program, and they'll also check how you do with daily activities like getting out of a chair.
