Objective: To relate physical activity, demographic, and clinical characteristics, fit to the prosthesis and health conditions related to the quality of life of adults with lower limb amputations. Method: 70 individuals with lower limb amputations of both sexes participated in the study. Data were collected using a form to characterize the participants, the Physical Activity Scale for Individual with Physical Disabilities (PASIPD), the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales–Revised (TAPES-R) and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics aiming at correlations, comparisons, and associations. A p lower than or equal to 0.05 was adapted. Results: The results showed that the participants had an energy expenditure of 26.93 MET h/d and higher averages of Health Conditions Related to Quality of Life in the mental health domain, they still had higher averages related to Prosthesis Fit in the Social domain (3.56) with Adjustment Degree above average (6.42). Conclusion: Study participants had a good level of physical activity, good fit to the prosthesis, good physical and mental health, better adaptation to the amputation and participation. In addition, a worse relationship was observed in the adaptation between people with amputations above the knee, when compared to amputations below the knee.
