I have said this before, the so called crawling phase during childhood development is not commonly seen in all cultures. A cultural bias (industrialized world) is at fault here, making everybody believe that kids should crawl or otherwise they will develop motor control problems. Just like prescribing an orthotic for every "flat foot" is culturally biased; just check the feet of cultures that have lived for generations on sandy or swampy soil - all flat feet is the result of their environmental adaptation. I am not saying that you should stop applying crawling or similar activities if you train or rehab individuals, but its not a cure all. scientificamerican/article.cfm?id=crawling-may-be-unnecessary
