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 Corey, and Corey is a three-year-old child who presents with severe hypotonia.

The child has difficulty maintaining an upright posture and frequently collapses when

attempting to sit or stand. Which of the following interventions would be most appropriate?

So we have A, sitting balance exercises on an unstable surface, such as a wobble cushion.

B, passive stretching of the hamstrings to improve flexibility.

C, practicing squats with support to encourage leg strength. And D is rhythmic stabilization

exercises in a seated position on a therapy ball. All right. Let's go up to the top of this

question. We're going to crush through this one. I've actually gotten quite a bit of people

reaching out, especially in my private Facebook group, saying that their intervention

scores are a bit low and looking to raise that so that it can pass the APTE. So if you need help

with interventions, let's tune in to this question right here. This is one I expect to come up

inside of that neuro area. So neuro interventions. So let's go ahead and take a look at it. So we have Corey is a three-year-old child who presents with severe hypotonia. All right. Let's go ahead and stop there. Make sure that we're all on the same page with this. We got a three-year-old child, so they give us a little bit of demographics or age, and then it also says severe hypotonia.
