Background: Physical activity is a positive component of human health. Its effects are associated with improvement in physical, psychological and social aspects of quality of life. Physical activity is therefore an important factor in the rehabilitation of amputees. Objective: To analyse the relationship between physical activity and quality of life for amputees in southern Brazil. Study Design: Descriptive, cross-sectional design with nonrandomized sample. Methods: A total of 40 questionnaire instruments were distributed to subjects who met the inclusion criteria, with a response rate of 55% (22 individuals, n = 15 males, n = 7 females). Outcome measurements were obtained through the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref. Results: The sample was characterized by physically active adult male prosthetic users with positive quality of life, and amputation below the right knee caused by mechanical trauma related to traffic accidents with motorcycles. Significant correlations were identified between all domains of quality of life and between level of physical activity and psychological quality of life. No correlation was identified between gender and quality of life variables or physical activity levels. Conclusions: This study showed that in very active amputees of both genders, level of physical activity is not associated with quality of life except for the psychological domain. Clinical relevanceThis paper contributes to understanding of the importance of physical activity for the quality of life of amputees, principally of active individuals with lower limb amputations. It provides evidence for the relevance of physical mobility in the process amputee rehabilitation, mainly for psychological domain of quality of life.

“…Sendo genérico, permite a comparação entre indivíduos com diversos diagnósticos e é amplamente usado em estudos com pessoas portadoras de diversas doenças. O SF-36 é um instrumento adequado para avaliação da qualidade de vida entre indivíduos com doenças musculoesqueléticas (LOPES et al, 2007).…”

“…These parameters enable analysis on health status and disease manifestations within an individual's life from his own subjective perspective, thereby complementing the objective clinical data. 10 The improvement in health-related quality of life after primary total hip arthroplasty has been documented in several studies. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Concern regarding this issue among the elderly population undergoing this surgical procedure has been highlighted over recent years, 6,7,[18][19][20] 22 stand out because of their high levels of use.…”

“…26,27 Use of a generic tool, complemented by application of a specific tool to assess health-related quality of life when analyzing this type of condition, has the advantage of evaluating the patients' perception of their general health status combined with the possibility of detecting specific clinical changes to healthrelated quality of life after primary total hip arthroplasty. 8,10,28 The performance characteristics of generic and specific tools used in the elderly and general populations differ from each other. 29 Concerning the SF-36, it is important to mention that one study found that this tool is a reliable way of assessing healthrelated quality of life among elderly patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty.…”

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES: Quality-of-life results have increasingly been evaluated among patients undergoing joint replacements. The objective of this study was to compare two assessment instruments for health-related quality of life (one generic and the other specific), among elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional descriptive study in a reference hospital in the region of Campinas. METHODS:The subjects were 88 elderly outpatients aged 60 years or over who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty. Two instruments for assessing health-related quality of life were applied: the generic Medical Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the specific Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Cronbach's alpha and the ceiling and floor effects of the instruments were evaluated. RESULTS:The scores from both instruments showed that issues of a physical nature affected these elderly people's quality of life most. The pain and stiffness dimensions of WOMAC showed ceiling effects and only the functional capacity and pain dimensions of the SF-36 did not show the ceiling effect. The SF-36 presented floor effects in the dimensions of physical and emotional aspects. Cronbach's alpha was considered satisfactory in both instruments (α > 0.70). CONCLUSIONS:The floor and ceiling effects that were observed suggest that these instruments may present some limitations in detecting changes to the majority of the SF-36 dimensions, except for functional capacity and pain, and to the pain and stiffness dimensions of WOMAC, when applied to elderly people with total hip arthroplasty.
