Baby Max has good control of his head and trunk. How does this demonstrate the proximodistal pattern of growth in infancy?

What will be an ideal response?


The ideal answer should include:
1. The proximodistal pattern is a growth pattern in which growth tends to proceed from the center of the body outward.
2. According to this growth pattern, Max would be expected to have better control of his trunk and head than over other areas of his body.
