Available from: https://doi.org/10.1002/jor.24656

Spine shape changes dramatically in early life, influenced by attainment of developmental milestones such as independent walking. Whether these associations persist across life is unknown. Therefore, we investigated associations between developmental... Read More about Motor development in infancy and spine shape in early old age: findings from a British birth cohort study..
