INTERVENTION: Participants will be asked to choose their own music types and listen to the music using headphones, whilst testing their handgrip strength ‐ their favourite music versus their least favourite music versus no music. Participants will be randomised evenly into 1 of the 6 different set ups of the study (the 6 possible orders of the music) and rotate through them as a counterbalance to prevent the effect of tiredness and the carryover effect of the different types of music: 1. No music, followed by favourite music, followed by least favourite music 2. No music, followed by least favourite music, followed by favourite music 3. Favourite music, followed by no music, followed by least favourite music 4. Favourite music, followed by least favourite music, followed by no music 5. Least favourite music, followed by no music, followed by favourite music 6. Least favourite music, followed by favourite music, followed by no music For each different music category (favourite, least favourite, none), participants will perform the same handgrip strength test. The study will last for a period of 1 month. CONDITION: Reduced peripheral muscle strength ; Musculoskeletal Diseases ; Reduced peripheral muscle strength PRIMARY OUTCOME: Maximum handgrip strength, measured in the dominant hand while listening to the different types of music, using a handheld dynamometer. Maximum handgrip strength is measured 3 times for each type of music, at random timepoints in the song. Between each measurement the participant will have at least a 30 second resting period SECONDARY OUTCOME: As a secondary outcome measure, the correlation of handgrip strength with different patient characteristics (i.e. age, gender, cognitive function disorders, functional problems of the dominant arm, etc) will be analyzed. Data on these patient characteristics come from a questionnaire based on the TOPICS‐questionnaire, which participants fill in before the measurements start. ; ; Correlation of handgrip strength with different patient characteristics (i.e. age, gender, cognitive function disorders, functional problems of the dominant arm), assessed using a questionnaire based on the TOPICS questionnaire at the baseline INCLUSION CRITERIA: Aged 65 years or older
