Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - first CVA (cerebral vascular accident), subacute phase (>= 2 weeks post stroke; <=3 month poststroke) - patient was walking independently prior to the CVA - Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC) of 1 or 2 - Patient is able to sit independently - there are no weight bearing restriction of the lower extremities (standing and gait)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - severe neglect (e.g.Catherine Bergego Scale CBS >10) - demonstrating pusher behavior (e.g.Scale for Contraversive Pushing SCP >=2.5) - restriction in weight bearing on lower extremities - walking with an assistive device or less than 1km prior to CVA - severe visual impairment - severe aphasia (patient must be able to follow instructions) - additional neurological conditions

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Ambulation abilities by use of Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC). Assessments will be performed before and after the 2 weeks of intervention.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Gait velocity by use of a 10-meter-gait-test (time + number of steps), Timed Up and Go-Test, Berg-Balance-Scale, Visual Analog Scales (VAS) for the subjective feeling of security while gait and the acceptance of the Videos. Assessments will be performed before and after the 2 weeks of intervention.
