Introduction: Amputation is the term used to define the total or partial removal of alimb. It generates several changes in a person's life, changing their lifestyle, makingmobility difficult. All people should be encouraged to participate in physical activityprograms, considering the enormous importance that the regular practice of physicalactivity has for health, as it reduces the risks of comorbidities. In addition, it isbelieved that the practice of a sport modality can promote greater benefits related tophysical health and quality of life. The assessment of adaptation to the prosthesisand quality of life in amputees is little known. Objective: The present study aims tocarry out a bibliographic survey on (1) the possibilities of improving adaptation to theprosthesis, functionality, and quality of life and (2) possible benefits of sports practicein people with lower limb prosthesis. Method: This review was performed onPUBMED/ MEDLINE, LILACS, and SCOPUS databases. Results: Regardless of thesport practice, amputation causes an important functional change, impairing manyaspects of daily life and, consequently, the quality of life. It is important to carefullyevaluate personal, socio-environmental, and cultural factors, aiming to minimize theimposed limitations, which may restrict participation and social inclusion. Practicingsports can bring benefits to lower limb amputees, but few studies have addressedthis issue so far. Conclusion: Currently there are several types of prostheses andnew technologies have been developed for greater comfort for users. Even veryactive amputees may have difficulties in activities of daily living and in functionalindependence and mobility tasks.
