Implementation of a Clinical Practice Guideline for Walking Recovery: Standardized users improve knowledge translation

To determine the effectiveness of a novel clinical practice guideline (CPG) on motor recovery following a stroke.

The hypothesis is SU following the CPG will demonstrate better outcomes in similar patients when compared to usual care.
