Medicine:Proximodistal trend
From HandWiki
The proximodistal trend is the tendency for more general functions of limbs to develop before more specific or fine motor skills. It comes from the Latin words proxim- which means "close"[1] and "-dis-" meaning "away from",[2] because the trend essentially describes a path from the center outward.
