I'm Kyle Rice, awful test taker turned physical therapists and standardized test coach for over 5,000 physical therapists worldwide.

It wasn't that long ago that I struggle with anxiety, lack of confidence, and the fear of failing the NPTE.

Fast forward through the challenges, the 13 standardized test failures, and many lessons learn. And you'll see the life I

have today, a life filled with love, financial freedom, and a dream job that allows me to change

lives every single day. I created the NPTE Clinical Files podcast to give you simple,

actionable strategies, along with a step-by-step walkthrough of NPTE-based questions.

All of this so that you can dominate your exam like I did and achieve your dream.

So if you're a driven PT student who's looking to pass the NPTE and start creating a life

you love, you're in the right place.

Enjoy the show.

For this week's clinical file, we have Amber, and Amber is being treated for developmental hip dysplasia. The therapist

would like to ensure proper formation of the formal head in acetabulum. Which of the following

positions is the most appropriate? So we have hip flexion, a deduction,

and internal rotation, B, hip extension, A, deduction, and external rotation. C is hip flexion,

a deduction, and internal rotation. And D is hip flexion, abduction, and external rotation.

All right. So I know those of you who are listening to me

on the podcast, obviously, you're in the car, you're treadmilling right now, you're cooking.

You may not remember all of those answer choices, but don't worry, I'll repeat them,

and then we'll go through this question together. So let's go ahead and knock this one down.

It says, Amber is being treated for

developmental hip dysplasia, also known as hip dysplasia. So this condition right here is involving

the femoral head in acetabulum or one or the other, where they're just not forming properly.
