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 Callan and Callan presents the physical therapy with difficulty grasping a glass.

Upon examination, the patient has diminished joint mobility at the second metacarpal philangial

joint and difficulty perform in abduction of the digit, which of the

following glides is the most effective. So let's go down to the answer choices. We have A,

voler glide, B, dorsal glide, C, radial glide, and D is medial glide. All right. Let's go to the top of

this question, baby.

I'm super excited to knock down this one.

Biomechanics is definitely one that shows up on the MPTE quite a bit.

And you really need to know Arthur Kinematics, how to mobilize a joint in order to improve certain motions.

I'm talking all different joints of the body

could be tested on the exam. So definitely be aware of that. Now, we're going to go over one of

these curveball questions. I actually did this last night inside of my practice question club.
