Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The safety and efficacy of MK0724 will be assessed in patients with acute middle cerebral artery stroke using the Action Reach Arm Test (ARAT). This test allows measurement of a specific functional deficit and subsequent recovery correlating with the specific area of stroke in the brain.
