"Participants will self-select 1 music piece from a list of choices to keep the rhythm and tempo consistent throughout the 6MWT. The instructions to participants for selecting the music will be standardized. TThe music volume will be standardized to be moderately loud as rated by participants for the music condition. Participants will not be specifically instructed to synchronize their walking movements with the music tempo. The music is based on a cognitive therapy (distraction) strategy conceptual framework. Music will be played during the 6MWT (in-task) only."

Participants will wear headphones with no music playing
