Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
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 Measures

Name	Time	Method
<br> 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.<br><br> 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<br>
