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 Jason, and Jason is being treated inpatient physical therapy for a traumatic

brain injury. The therapist has been training the patient on using a two-point gate pattern,

using a single point cane. The patient demonstrates a clear understanding of the proper method and is

able to perform the task freely in a quiet hallway. Which of the following is the best to improve

the patient's retention of the skill? So we have A, open environment and randomized practice.

B, closed environment and serial practice. C, open environment and serial

practice. And D is closed environment, blocked practice. All right. Let's go up to the top of this

question. For those of you who struggle with topics like TBI, you need to listen up, baby.

Especially if you're a PT student who feels like you're

having difficulty gathering this information by yourself. You're studying alone. You're not able

to absorb how to evaluate a patient with a TBI. You're having difficulty understanding the types

of interventions that need to be provided to a patient at each level of the Rancho's Los Amigos.
