Background In the current rehabilitation environment, emotional issues and cognitive dysfunctions in stroke patients are often overshadowed by physical, speech, and swallowing difficulties, leading to their underestimation in clinical rehabilitation. This oversight can result in adverse outcomes, impacting the overall success of rehabilitation. Currently, clinical treatments primarily rely on pharmacotherapy to alleviate symptoms, which has limited effectiveness and can cause a range of adverse reactions. Objective To observe the efficacy of precision exercise prescriptions on anxiety, depression, and cognitive functions in stroke patients and to preliminarily analyze the underlying mechanisms of action. Methods A total of 84 stroke patients hospitalized in the Rehabilitation Department of Changzhou Dean Hospital from January 2022 to March 2023 were selected. They were randomly divided into a control group (42 patients) and an experimental group (42 patients). The control group received standard rehabilitatio
