There were significant differences in age (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n \u202f=\u202f15.486,\n p\u202f=<\/jats:italic>\n \u202f0.004), self - rated anxiety and depression (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n \u202f=\u202f7.791,\n p\u202f=<\/jats:italic>\n \u202f0.020), social support (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n \u202f=\u202f9.644,\n p\u202f=<\/jats:italic>\n \u202f0.047), psychological distress (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n \u202f=\u202f8.110,\n p\u202f=<\/jats:italic>\n \u202f0.017), and coping strategies (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n \u202f=\u202f7.545,\n p\u202f=<\/jats:italic>\n \u202f0.017) among different trajectory categories. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, anxiety and depression, social support, psychological distress, and coping strategies were the influencing factors of the trajectory of postural control in stroke patients with hemiplegia (\n p\u202f&lt;<\/jats:italic>\n \u202f0.05). After stroke onset (T1 - T5), the scores of PAIS-SR in each group showed a downward trend (indicating improved adjustment, as higher adjustment corresponds to lower PAIS-SR scores) [C1: (\n F<\/jats:italic>\n \u202f=\u202f170.335,\n p\u202f&lt;<\/jats:italic>\n \u202f0.001); C2: (\n F<\/jats:italic>\n \u202f=\u202f5.614,\n p\u202f=<\/jats:italic>\n \u202f0.005); C3: (\n F<\/jats:italic>\n \u202f=\u202f1.993,\n p\u202f=<\/jats:italic>\n \u202f0.186)]. At the T1 stage, there was no significant difference among the three groups. At the T2 - T3 stage, the PAIS-SR score of group C1 was significantly lower than that of group C2 and group C3 (\n p\u202f&lt;<\/jats:italic>\n \u202f0.01).
