Abstract: Objective: To compare the functional capacity of adult and elderly patients with venous ulcers. Method: cross-sectional observational study in Antônio Pedro University Hospital/UFF. The subjects are adult and elderly patients with tissue damage. The instruments were: protocol unit, Katz and Lawton scales with data processed statistically. Results: 35 patients have participated. Compared with adult clients, the data obtained in the scale of Lawton and Katz confirm that the elderly client has a lower degree of functional capacity. It is worth noting that the adult subjects have a worrying degree of dependence because of work activities that could be running in their daily lives. Conclusion: it is essential that the client also knows his illness and be a co-participant in the treatment process to know what to expect and when in every situation, contributing thus to their adaptation to the new reality as verified the results of the instruments used
