RESUMO

The stroke is considered one of the main chronic diseases, whose sequels lead to people s dependence and loss of their autonomy. The general objective of the study was to evaluate the functional capability and the quality of life of stroke survivors with more than 55 years and as specific objectives to identify correlations between functional capacity and quality of life of those subjects, toevaluate the relationship between social-demographic variables, clínical and therapeutic and the functional capacity and the life quality. Data were obtained from interviews with outpatients in the rehabilitation program and medical accomplished and, home care, using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and The Medical Outcomes Study 36-item shorts-form health survey (SF-36). From 44 patients interviewed, predominantly aged between 60 and 69 years, a total of 42 patients presented sequels from stroke. People who had access to the health service presented values of FIM superior than those who didn t have access. The FIM score was ínfluenced byage, caregivers presence and hemiparesis. Among the averages of the dimensions of SF-36 the functional capability presented the smallest score. People who had access to health services presented high average in the functional capability dimensions than those who didn t have access. If it s compared the dimensions of SF-36 and the domains of FIM, we observed that there was a positive correlation of strong magnitude among the dimension functional capability and the domains of FIM. There is correlation between the levei of functional independence and life quality and the hemiparesis; the increase of age, the lack of to access rehabilitation or caregivers presence influenced the measures of functional capacity and life quality negatively. The study verified that the sequels provoked by stroke caused damage in the autonomy and in the independence of the subjects interfering whith their functional capability and, consequently, in their quality of life
