Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease associated with high rates of amputations, leading to loss of function and quality of life. Objective: To identify kinetic-functional dysfunctions in patients with lower limb prostheses due to DM. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional, quantitative study conducted at a rehabilitation center in Fortaleza (CE) during the second semester of 2023. Diabetic amputees with prostheses were divided into two groups (transtibial and transfemoral) and subjected to sociodemographic data collection, the 2-Minute Walk Test (2MWT), the Sit-to-Stand Test (STS), WHODAS 2.0, and the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Statistical analysis was performed using JAMOVI® software. Results and Discussion: The STS revealed better performance in Group 1 compared to Group 2 in terms of the number of repetitions executed, while the 2MWT showed difficulties in gait performance in Group 2. The results of WHODAS 2.0 and BPI showed greater impairments in mobility, social participation, and the presence of pain in daily activities, respectively, in both groups. Emotional, psychological, and cognitive impacts were also observed. Conclusion: There was a functional decline in self-care and participation domains of WHODAS 2.0 when comparing Group 1 to Group 2.Downloads
