Summary of participant details.

	N = 20
Age [mean (SD)]	64 (7.6) years
Sex (female/male)	7/13
Chronicity [mean (SD)]	82 (67.4) months
Lesion depth (cortical/subcortical/mixed)	0/17/3
Lesion side (left/right)	7/13
FM-LE (34 max)	27 (4.9)
MoCA (30 max)	26 (2.6)
Gait aids (none/walking stick(s)/4-point cane/4 wheeled walker)	12/6/1/1
Normal gait speed [mean (SD)]	0.83 (0.346) m/s; Range: 0.14–1.39 m/s
Slow gait speed [mean (SD)]	0.64 (0.34) m/s; Range: 0.10–1.32 m/s; t(19) = 3.05, , CI = 0.06–0.31
Fast gait speed [mean (SD)]	1.08 (0.45) m/s; Range: 0.14–1.88 m/s; t(19) = −7.65, , CI = −0.30 to −0.17

Note: Significantly different than the NORM condition. FM-LE = Fugl-Meyer lower extremity; MoCA = Montreal Cognitive Assessment; CI = 95% confidence interval.
