Core Tip	This study evaluates the effectiveness of electromyographic biofeedback therapy combined with conventional rehabilitation in post-stroke limb motor dysfunction and anxiety reduction. Patients (N = 60) were divided into control (conventional rehabilitation only) and biofeedback groups. Assessments included the Fugl-Meyer assessment, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale. Results showed significant improvements in motor function and reduced anxiety in the biofeedback group compared to controls, highlighting the potential of this combined approach to enhance recovery outcomes in stroke patients.
