虽然手动肌肉测试无疑是最常用的方法来量化老年人的肌肉力量，但它缺乏敏感性和响应性。这些限制可以通过使用定量方法来克服。本文综述了三种定量方法的基本信息：握力测力法、手持式测力法和功能测试。
Although manual muscle testing is undoubtedly the method used most frequently to quantify the muscle strength of older individuals, it lacks sensitivity and responsiveness. These limitations can be overcome through the use of quantitative methods. This review presents basic information on three quantitative alternatives: hand-grip dynamometry, hand-held dynamometry, and functional tests.
