Stroke is a disabling disease and has a high rate of morbidity and mortality in Brazil. This condition can have an impact on the homeostasis of motor and sensory functions. Further rehabilitation studies are needed with this population, as there are gap regarding the description of interventions and specific guidelines for sensory function. Given this, the objective was to relate the sensory function with the motor function and the functional capacity of individuals after stroke. Nottingham Sensory Assessment, Functional Independence Measure and Fugl Meyer Scale were used. The sample consisted of 35 volunteers and it was observed that the higher the score on sensory function, the better the performance on motor functions. When associating sensory function, motor performance and functional activities, the subjects needed supervision; those who presented the items “touch” and “pressure” were considered more independent. It was concluded that there were changes in somatosensory and motor functions that impacted functional activities.
