Core Tip	Electromyographic biofeedback therapy re-establishes the disrupted brain-muscle communication in stroke survivors, enabling the restoration of voluntary motor control. Beyond enhancing physical recovery, it alleviates anxiety and depression by strengthening patients’ self-efficacy, motivation, and emotional stability. Building upon Yu et al’s findings, this letter emphasises how electromyography biofeedback promotes neural adaptability, fosters psychological resilience, and integrates seamlessly into multidisciplinary rehabilitation models - offering a comprehensive pathway toward holistic stroke recovery.
