Abstract：Objective To explore an objective evaluation model for the elderly extremity muscle strength. Methods Evaluation index system of extremity muscle strength was established by analyzing the structure and movement mechanism of the limbs of the elderly,and an evaluation model of extremity muscle strength of the elderly based on entropy weight-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation was proposed.More-over,the muscle strength data of the elderly are collected by the hand-held dynamometry MicroFet3.Results The entropy weight method was used to obtain the objective weight of each index,and the disadvantages of the given weight by the expert in the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method were eliminated, which could effectively assist the doctor to give the correct evaluation. Conclusion Actual examples showed that the proposed evaluation model is effective and objective,which helps to overcome the subjectivity of manual muscle testing to achieve the rehabilitation treatment and classification management of the elderly.A new idea is put forward to evaluate the strength of the ex-tremity in the elderly.
