Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Patients admitted to the Geriatric Assessment Unit of St. Mary's Hospital.
- Patients interested in participating in this research (recreational) study
Exclusion
- Patients who are medically unstable to attend the music or television-watching sessions will be excluded from the study.
- Also, if patients are deemed to be unsafe by the medical team to undergo a TUG or a gait speed assessment, those measures will not be collected. Those patients would therefore only fill a pre- and post VAMS and attend the musical or television session.
- Finally, the investigators will only consider the first participation to a session in our analysis. In other words, patients who have already participated to a music session prior to the initiation of this study will be excluded (will not be recruited into the study).
