Movement Maturation Guildlines
Movement Responses: Movement responses progress from involuntary to controlled. Muscles develop according to stimuli involved in each activity.
Gross and Fine Motor Development: Large muscles develop before fine motor skills, and affect the performance and proficiency of coordination.
Central Nervous System (CNS) Maturation: CNS controls the actions necessary for the execution of motor skills. Maturation progresses in two directions: cephalocaudal and proximo-distal.
Cephalocaudal Progression: Maturation beginning with head control and culminating with gaining control over the upper and lower extremities (head down).
Proximo-distal Progression: Maturation begins at the body’s midline and progresses out through the extremities (Trunk out).
Possible Disability Impact on CNS Maturation: Delayed physiological maturation in general is capable of manifesting in delayed cephalocaudal and proximo-distal progression development.
