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.

So we have A, owner role and glide of the first metacarpal.

B, radial role and glide of the first metacarpal.

C, radial role and owner glide of the trapezium.

And then D is owner role and radial glide of the trapezeum.

All right, cool.

So for those of you listening right now, you're on the podcast or you're here live with me right now.

Think about this for a second.

What type of question is this?

All day mechanics, right? And the thumb is one of those areas where you got to understand the mechanics really well. There's a little, some tricky stuff in here. And so we'll talk about that today. So let's start off at the top. It says Tommy is a 26 year old volleyball player. pretty straightforward there, and Tommy has complaints of pain
