Core Tip This retrospective study examines the impact of motor anxiety on rehabilitation outcomes in elderly stroke patients. Patients with higher anxiety levels showed poorer functional recovery, increased fear of movement, and lower self-efficacy. Using validated scales (Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, Modified Rankin Scale, Self-Efficacy for Exercise Scale, Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, and Self-Rating Depression Scale), the study identified five independent risk factors for motor anxiety, including low self-efficacy, kinesiophobia, depression, and lower education and income. A predictive nomogram was developed and externally validated to evaluate motor anxiety risk. These findings emphasise the importance of psychological screening and personalised interventions during stroke rehabilitation to enhance functional outcomes and quality of life in elderly patients.
