Abstract

This descriptive and cross-sectional study aimed to verify possible relations between level of functional
independence, loss, maintenance and/or recovery of occupational roles, and personal factors of 46 persons with neurological
sequelae. The research was approved by the ethics committee and the data was collected through the Measurement of
Functional Independence, the List of Identification of Occupational Roles and reading of the hospital records. The roles of
domestic service, family member and pass-time/amateur present the highest rates of continuous performance. A high frequency
of retirement at a productive age was observed, although the participants assign much importance to the role of worker and
present a level of independence which is compatible with the possibility of performance of this role. The hypothesis that
illness and disability may not be the main determinant factors for limitations on activity and restrictions on the participation
of persons with sequelae is stressed, emphasizing the influence of personal and environmental factors on these aspects.
