Exploring new rehabilitation pathways for stroke based on the comorbidity of post-stroke hypoesthesia with anxiety and depression

Post-stroke hypoesthesia should be recognized as a critical etiological and maintaining factor in anxiety and depression. The coexistence of pathological and functional mechanisms underscores the need for rehabilitation strategies that transcend the boundaries of perception, emotion, and cognition. Developing a rehabilitation pathway centered on "sensory-emotional co-regulation" can facilitate early identification, subtype-specific intervention, and comprehensive support for emotional comorbidities following stroke.
