    Stroke leads to significant lower limb dysfunction in survivors, impacting their quality of life and necessitating effective rehabilitation strategies.

  • 2

    Electromagnetic stimulation therapy shows promise for post-stroke rehabilitation, yet its clinical efficacy remains controversial in existing literature.

  • 3

    This study aims to conduct a network meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of various electromagnetic stimulation protocols for lower limb recovery.

  • 4

    The systematic review will include randomized controlled trials from multiple databases, assessing risk of bias and using a random-effects model for analysis.

  • 5

    Findings from this analysis will provide evidence-based guidance for clinicians to optimize treatment strategies for post-stroke lower limb dysfunction.
