Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Diagnosis of stroke conforming to the Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis of Various Cerebrovascular Diseases (2019), confirmed by cranial CT or MRI. 2. First onset of stroke with a disease duration of 1 to 6 months. 3. Aged between 18 and 75 years. Stable vital signs and absence of cardiac conditions. 4. Presence of hemiplegia resulting from the stroke. 5. Brunnstrom Stage of II to III in the affected lower limb, with a sitting balance capacity of at least Grade 2. 6. Muscle tone (hemiplegic side) = Modified Ashworth Scale 1 7.Hemodynamically stable and without severe visual or auditory disorders. 8. No significant cognitive impairment, as defined by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score of >=17 (illiterate), >=20 (primary school education), or >=24 (junior high school education or above). 9. Adequate motor imagery ability, indicated by a score of >=40 on the Chinese version of the Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire (KVIQ-10). 10. Able to understand the study procedure and provides written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. History of epilepsy, bleeding tendency, or severe impairment/failure of major organ functions (e.g., heart, lung, liver, kidney). 2. Presence of intracranial metal implants, cardiac pacemakers, or skull defects. 3. Severe lower limb pain or spasticity that would impede cycling training. 4. Pathologies in or adjacent to the target joints, including but not limited to: pre-existing joint disease, fracture, severe local osteoporosis, severely limited range of motion, or malignancy in the area. 5. Skin breakdown, ulcers, or defects at the intended headwear placement site. 6. Co-morbid other neurological or psychiatric disorders.
