What is cephalocaudal and Proximodistal physical development?

In cephalocaudal growth, growth starts from the head and moves down to the feet. In proximodistal growth, growth starts from the torso, or the body's center, and moves outwards, to the arms and the legs.

What is an example of Cephalocaudal development?

The cephalocaudal pattern is where the greatest development takes place at the top of the body, i.e. the head, and physical development moves gradually downwards: e.g. neck, shoulders, trunk, etc.

What is the process of Cephalocaudal development?

Definition. The cephalocaudal principle refers to the general pattern of physical and motoric development followed from infancy into toddlerhood and even early childhood whereby development follows a head-to-toe progression.

What is the Proximodistal development process?

Proximodistal development refers to creating different parts of the body in a regular, orderly manner. It means that the limbs move away from the center of the body- starting with hands and feet, then arms and legs, and finally fingers and toes.
