Proximal stability is the strength and stability of the core, trunk and back muscles of the body or those that are close to the center of the body. The better developed these muscles are, the more refined the mobility or movement is in the distal parts of the body such as the hands and fingers. www.handwritinghelper.blogspot.com

Is the elbow proximal or distal to your fingers?
The hand is distal, because your hand is drawing away from your body. Proximal means closer to the body.Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.
Is the shoulder proximal or distal to the wrist?
Proximal vs. distal, is in reference to the Point of attachment to the axial skeleton. So the shoulder is proximal to the wrist, or the wrist is distal to the shoulder. Distal= further away Proximal= closer
Is the ankle proximal or distal to the hip?
Distal
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the hand?
nope. easy way to remember: proximal=proximity, hence closer to the body, and distal=distance, hence further away from the body. so the wrist is distal to the shoulder, and the shoulder is proximal to the wrist. make sense?
Distal and proximal ends of long bones?
The epiphyses are the distal and proximal ends of long bones
What is the opposite of proximal?
The term most opposite of proximal is "distal."
Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
Is the elbow proximal or distal to your fingers?
The hand is distal, because your hand is drawing away from your body. Proximal means closer to the body.Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.

Proximal vs. distal, is in reference to the Point of attachment to the axial skeleton. So the shoulder is proximal to the wrist, or the wrist is distal to the shoulder. Distal= further away Proximal= closer
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the shoulder?
The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.
Is the head distal or proximal to the shoulders?
Proximal
Is the hand is proximal to elbow?
No . The hand is proximal to the wrist . Proximal = proximity[ closeness] Distal = distant [ farther away ]
Is the ankle proximal or distal to the hip?
Distal
Is the foot distal or proximal to the heart?
Distal
What is the opposite of distal?
Proximal is the opposite of distal.
Is electrical activity of the heart distal to proximal?
No, electrical activity in the heart moves from proximal to distal.
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the hand?
nope. easy way to remember: proximal=proximity, hence closer to the body, and distal=distance, hence further away from the body. so the wrist is distal to the shoulder, and the shoulder is proximal to the wrist. make sense?
