The competent handling of money is an essential basis for living independently. Seventy-eight consecutively admitted patients to a geriatric hospital underwent the Timed Test of Money Counting (TTMC) which measures patients' ability to open a purse, take out all the money and count it. Further assessment included Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Barthel Index of ADL, Self-maintaining and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), grip strength and Williams' Board Test. The TTMC was reliable (inter-rater and intra-rater) and showed construct and concurrent validity with other measures of physical function. Unlike many other physical performance tests the TTMC is quickly performed and requires no special equipment or training.
正确地管理钱财是独立生活的重要基础。一家老年医院连续收治的78名患者接受了计时点钞测试（TTMC），该测试用于衡量患者打开钱包、取出所有钱并进行清点的能力。进一步的评估包括简易精神状态检查表（MMSE）、巴氏日常生活活动指数、自我维持和工具性日常生活活动能力（IADL）、握力以及威廉姆斯板测试。TTMC具有可靠性（评分者间和评分者内），并与其他身体功能测量方法具有结构效度和同时效度。与许多其他身体性能测试不同，TTMC执行速度快，不需要特殊设备或培训。
