The Canadian Maraviroc Randomized Controlled Trial To Augment Rehabilitation Outcomes After Stroke

Half of the participants will take maraviroc for a period of 8 weeks.

"All participants will take part in an 8-week exercise program. While in-hospital, participants will undergo standard of care rehabilitation (estimated at 45 minutes each daily for physiotherapy \& occupational therapy) plus a supplementary upper extremity exercise program (Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (GRASP); estimated at 1 hour daily).~After discharge from inpatient care, participants will complete an at-home supplementary upper and lower extremity exercise program. This program will include 30 minutes daily walking or sit-to-stand exercises and 30 minutes daily practice using the GRASP program."

Half of the participants will take a placebo for a period of 8 weeks.

"Participants will be asked to wear small activity sensors (one on each wrist and one on each ankle, total of four sensors) at the baseline, 4-week, 8-week, and 6-month assessments for 7 consecutive days. Activity related to walking, sleep, physical activity, and arm and leg movement throughout the day will be measured.~The sensors will be worn for a total of 28 days throughout the study."

Participants will be asked to perform a computer-based motor learning assessment at the baseline, 4-week, 8-week, and 6-month assessments. A retention task, which involves shorter versions of the initial tasks, will also be completed within 72 hours of the initial assessment (initial test and retention test).
