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 Sammy and Sammy presents with an enlargement in her bilateral lower extremities. However,

no symptoms are present distal to the ankle. The patient reports that the legs are tender to touch and easily bruise, which of the following

conditions is the most likely present? So we have A, fibromyalgia, B, lipidema, C, lymphedema,

and D is congestive heart failure. I was just telling everybody live a few moments

ago that this is a lymphatics type question. It's also other systems. You got to know these

pathologies really well, mostly the signs of symptoms and the patient history, you know,

the stuff that the patient tells you. You got to have a good understanding of that.

So let's go ahead and break this one down.

So we have Sammy presents with an enlargement in her bilateral lower extremities.

And so that's where I would, you know, slow up first.

I know that's not the end of the sentence, but already getting an idea right now.

This is important.
