Amputation is the traumatic or surgical loss of one or more limbs. Amputation causes physical, psychological and social damages which result in a decrease in quality of life (QV). Sports have been considered important tools for rehabilitation and social integration of amputees. The aim of this research was to assess quality of life, occupational performance, muscle strength and range of motion of adults with lower limb amputation athlete and non-athlete. The sample consisted of 45 amputees, divided into two groups: Athlete (GE, n = 23) and non-Athlete (GNE, n = 22). The collection was made in the cities of Curitiba, Aracaju and Maceió on December 2013, January and March of 2014. The tools used were The Short Form Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36), the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), the goniometry, and the Kendall´s muscle strength test. The tests Shapiro-Wilk, chi-squared and Mann-Whiney (p < 0.05) were used for statistical analysis. The quality of life variable showed significant differences in all eight areas tested: functioning, role limitations due to mental health emotional bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, and between the groups, with the GE presented the best results, indicating better quality of life that the GNE. The Athlete group showed significant higher rates in occupational performance, muscle strength (flexor and extensor muscles of the hip) and range of motion (flexion and hip abduction). Therefore, it was concluded that there was a higher quality of life, occupational performance, muscle strength and range of motion for amputees who practice any sport.
