INTRODUCTION: This work discusses how the subject's body with stroke is meant
and what changes it can generate for the occupations, taking into account the size
and shape of occupational meaning. This research is important because there are no
studies that deal on these issues in an interrelated way, making it hard even to build
a body of epistemology from the Science Occupation. The GENERAL OBJECTIVE of
this research is: to understand the form and meaning of body and occupation of the
discourse of subjects with stroke, and specific objectives: identify the occupational
history of the subjects before and after stroke based on the Science of Occupation,
and check the occupational repercussions from the body of studies in occupational
Therapy. METHODOLOGY: This study adopted a qualitative approach, descriptive
and exploratory, used semistructured interviews to collect data. The participants
were a total of 3 people with stroke sequelae entered in the Extension Project
"Neurological Rehabilitation and Occupational Therapy: focus on the activities of
daily living." The Faculty of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy was chosen
as the research site. RESULTS: We note that both the form and the meaning of the
body and occupations have changed as a result of stroke. In the way we perceive the
changes: from the perception of changes in engagement with significant others; the
time devoted to them; in areas where the occupations performed and occupational
rearrangements in work, leisure and selfcare. As to the meanings related to the body
have been identified: Modified; imperfect; inert; bodypain; x useless body potential
body: the spiritual side. At the end of this research, we found that it was possible to
achieve the proposed objective. CONCLUSION: It was possible to build a way of
thinking that led us to create a body of epistemology, born of affection produced by
the subjects, showing us a complex reading and true bodyoccupancystroke triad,
from reading occupational science.
