Baseline assessment included demographic information, details about participants’ stroke event, stroke severity (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, measured at baseline assessment), disability level (modified Rankin Scale score, Functional Ambulation Classification) and exercise self-efficacy (Short Self-efficacy for Exercise Scale). Participants were randomized with block allocation (block size of 4 prepared by an independent statistician and coded into the trial database) after baseline assessment. Further assessments occurred at 3-, 6-, and 12 months by a blinded assessor.
