The goal of this study is to compare between Eccentric training and conventional therapy in sub-acute stroke survivors. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate improvements in gait speed after four months of ET in comparison to conventional therapy for patients with sub-acute stroke. Secondary objectives involve assessing: i) modifications in neuromuscular parameters of PF, ii) changes in muscle stiffness within PF during passive mobilization and active force generation, and iii) modifications in architectural parameters of PF.
