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 Sahar, and Sahar is educating her student about surgical protocols for the ankle

and foot. A patient who presents two weeks post-surgery for an Achilles tendon repair should avoid which of the following.

So we have A, passive dorsiflection to mild discomfort.

B, seated toe extensions.

C, gentle isometric planter flexion exercises.

And D is active ankle inversion and aversion. All right. Let's go up to the top of this

question. Thank you all for tuning in on this episode. Guess what? Guess what? Coach K is going

to CSM this year. It is in the cold, chilly Boston, February 15th through the 17th. I'm not sure if you're going,

but I would love the opportunity to meet you. I'm bringing my PT hustle team with me.

We're going to be in our blues. That's our brand color. And I cannot wait to just be out there

and meet so many of you. And so if you have an opportunity,

please stop by. We will be at the booth. You could check the directory and all of that stuff,
