The objective of this study is to identify the influence of positive and negative auditory cues, music and a placebo (silence) on mood and gait during 30 minutes of free walking. Participants will be required to walk for a total of 30 minutes with mood being measured every 5 minutes and gait measured throughout the 30 minute protocol.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Positive auditory cues | Experimental | Participants will listen to the following auditory cues ~30 seconds apart Good job, you're doing awesome! Keep up the good work! You've got this! You're almost done, just a few more minutes! That's a great pace! You're going strong! Keep it up! Nice work. Great job! Good stuff. Keep it up. You're doing an amazing job. |
|
| Negative auditory cues | Experimental | Participants will listen to the following auditory cues ~30 seconds apart You've got to walk faster than that. You're so slow! Why do you walk like that? Did you learn how to walk yesterday? You're doing terrible. Who walks like that? You have potential but you don't use it. You'll never amount to anything. You're not putting very much effort into this. This is the worst pace you've had yet. |
|
| Music | Experimental | Participants will be allowed to select a streaming music station of their choice. |
|
| Silence | Active Comparator | Participants will walk in silence while wearing noise cancelling headphones. |

Inclusion criteria:
Able to stand without an assistive device
Able to walk in 5-minute intervals over the duration of 63 minutes without assistive devices.
The objective of this study is to measure gait. Assistive devices change gait and limit our ability to measure gait.
• Subjects must be within the age of 18-45
Exclusion criteria:
Impairment or inability to perform physical activity (e.g. walking) independently.
Inability to walk for 2 minutes without pain or discomfort.
Neurological conditions (i.e. stroke or Parkinson's disease)
â—‹ Many neurological conditions can potentially alter gait. Therefore, we are eliminating individuals in this group.
Recent (within 6 months) orthopedic surgery that impacts walking ability and balance, e.g. total joint replacement
â—‹ The objective of this study is to measure gait and people with lower extremity injuries may have excessive variation in gait. Hence we will be eliminating them from this study.
Wound or absent sensation on plantar surface (bottom) of the subject's feet.
â—‹ Subjects with this issue will have alterations and variations in gait due to sensory deficits and/or pain. They will not eligible for this study.
Visual Impairment â—‹ Subjects must be able to read and visually recognize words. Therefore, subjects must have 20/40 (corrected) vision. Subjects who are blind cannot participate.
