According to anatomical and medical standards, an oblique position describes the body or a part of it being placed at a slanting angle, meaning it is neither parallel nor perpendicular to a surface or another body part. This specific positioning is critical in various medical and health contexts, from diagnostic imaging to fetal health and targeted exercise. It allows for a clearer view of internal structures or provides a way to activate specific muscle groups.
