Summary

Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide, with the number of stroke patients steadily increasing due to the aging population. While traditional rehabilitation methods, such as pharmacological treatment, physical therapy, and cognitive therapy, can improve physical function to some extent, many stroke patients still face long-term non-motor impairments, including deficits in emotional, cognitive, and social functioning. Art therapy, as an integrative, non-invasive intervention, has gradually gained attention from researchers and clinicians due to its potential for restoring non-motor functions. Through artistic modalities such as music, painting, and dance, art therapy not only helps patients regulate their emotions, reducing anxiety and depression, but also promotes neuroplasticity, improving cognitive function and social participation. In the rehabilitation of stroke patients in the subacute phase, art therapy can serve as an adjunctive intervention, providing multidimensional rehabilitation support, optimizing emotional regulation and cognitive recovery, and offering new hope for the patients' overall rehabilitation.
