The association between crawling as a first mode of mobilisation and the presentation of atraumatic shoulder instability: a retrospective cohort study.

There may be an association between developmental milestones and atraumatic shoulder instability. It cannot be concluded from this study whether association is causal and additional research is needed to further investigate this relationship. Asking patients presenting with shoulder instability about their developmental milestones as part of a full subjective history could guide a more targeted sensorimotor rehabilitation programme.
