The article by Hernandez and colleagues published in this edition of Heart & Lung, reports on original research exploring the use of rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS)
to increase the 6-min distance walk with individuals diagnosed with chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD). The authors provide clear rationale regarding the use of
music to stimulate movement, increase exercise tolerance, and to distract participants
from the perception of dyspnea. Through this report, we offer further insights specifically
focused on the RAS process, including vital considerations when implementing a music-based
intervention in clinical practice settings.
