title: [The function, activity and participation: the occupational reintegration].
abstract: The return to work is a significant outcome after amputation. To reach this goal it is necessary to measure properly this process. Unfortunately, for amputee, we have different scales but often focused on specific groups of problems The International Classification of funtioning (ICF) can constitute the frame of reference where to converge scales available and according to which define problems related to disability. For the person amputated the theme of the return to work arises differently for the conditions traumatic and non-traumatic. For the first return to work is a priority given the younger age. For the latter, given the advanced age, the return to work is likely to be a measure of the success of rehabilitation is not particularly relevant.
