PE 1.3: Methods of assessment of growth: WHO & Indian standards.
PE 1.5.2: Discuss the normal developmental milestones with respect to
motor, behavior, social, adaptive and language development.» Growth denotes a increase in the body mass as a result of multiplication
of cells and increase intracellular substance, (quantitative change)
» Development denotes acquisition of new skills for optimal functioning.
(qualitative change),

Principles of Development
| Development is continuous process from conception to maturity.
|
|. Development is intimately related to maturation of CNS.
* Sequence of development is identical, but rate of development varies
from child to child,
/* Generalized activity is replaced by specific action. Primitive reflexes are
| lost before voluntary movements are acquired.
'* Cephalo-caudal and proximo-distal in progression (axial peripheral).|

«isaMonitoring growth:
Anthropometry
aAnthropometric parameters
Anthropometric parameters are measurements for evaluating growth & nutritional status.
Important anthropometric parameters are:
1, Weight
2. Length(< 2 yrs)/height
3, Head circumference
4, Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC)
5. Upper segment: Lower segment ratio
Serial measurements of anthropometric parameters using same equipment are more
useful than a single measurements,
Rate of increase of an anthropometric parameter with time is called its Veloci
e.g. Weight Velocity, Height velocity etc.
SUIT -Anthropometric Indices
+ When 2 anthropometric parameters are combined, it is called an Anthropometric index.
