The medial obl of the foot best demonstrates?
The cuboid in profile and the 3rd, 4th, and 5th MT's free of superimposition
200
What is the obliquity for the Mortise OBL of the ankle?

200
What is the CR angle for the Stecher Method of the scaphoid w/o the use of an angle sponge?
20 degrees towards the elbow
300
What is respiration for the AP Axial projection of the clavicle?
Suspended at the end of full inspiration to further elevate the angle of the clavicle.
300
The pa obl w/ lateral rotation of the wrist best demonstrates?

300
How is the "entire" upper limb positioned for the ap position of the forearm?
