Abstract

Stroke can result in physical impairment, cognitive or management dysfunction, emotional issues, and a decline in quality of life. Anxiety is one of the most prevalent emotional issues among stroke patients. Post-stroke anxiety may have a significant impact on the quality of life (QOL) and rehabilitation of stroke survivors. Moreover, severe anxiety symptoms are associated with an increased risk of incident stroke. Depression, cognitive impairment, fatigue, age, female sex, lesion site, and sleep disturbance are all risk factors for post-stroke anxiety. In addition to the stress caused by an acute ischemic stroke, the biological causes of post-stroke anxiety should be acknowledged. Physical activity consistently alleviates the depression symptoms in stroke patients. Regular physical activity improves the quality of life by reducing the risk of illness and disability. The therapists promote exercise and music to improve the condition of stroke patients. It also teaches them how to manage anxiety and achieve independence in daily life. Promoting music and exercise is essential for stroke patient in their daily lives. Thus, the aim of this study is to review the effect of music and exercises on reducing post stoke anxiety.
