In recent years, there has been an intense drive to promote quantitative measures of disability. Despite evidence demonstrating the existence of social and political dimensions of disability, medical definitions, emphasizing individual functional capacity, have tended to prevail. The present article reviews and critiques existing and emerging disability measures and discusses methodological alternatives based on the life experiences of disabled people as a strategy for improving the scientific measurement of disability
