This is a study of the Brazilian bibliography regarding occupational therapy in physical dysfunctions based on thesis, dissertations, articles and abstracts presented in conferences between 1999 and 2005. We consulted: LILACS - Latin American and Caribean Literature on Health Science, SciELO - Scientific Eletronic Library Online and the thesis achieves at CAPES. In regards to the abstracts, we searched the annals of the VII and IX Brazilian Occupational Therapy Conference and the VIII Brazilian and V Latin American Occupational Therapy Conference. We also identified books and manuals in this area of interest, edited between 2001 and 2005. For the articles we also searched the Cadernos de Terapia Ocupacional of the Federal University of São Carlos. There were found 213 texts about this theme. In the considered universe the abstracts presented in conferences represented 64% of the production while the articles, thesis and books represented, respectively, 20%, 9% and 7%. Regarding the published abstracts we observed a growth tendency in the given period, which did not occur with the articles. These had a rise between 1999 and 2002 and later decreased with the rise of publishing of books. The majority of the thesis and dissertations where published in 1999, 2003 and 2004. Debate on the intervention for functional capacity/ motor skills/independence/autonomy appears as a core theme, as well as concerns for the analysis of context, mental health of the person with disability, methods of intervention, among others.
