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