Who looks at notices in supermarkets as many of us take no notice of them as most are advertising. Having a notice on a wall is not sufficient. Was there a warning at the exit or a warning on the trolley itself that it cannot be taken out of the store? If not, then the shop is liable.

It’s not to stop theft of the trollies, it’s to stop someone going out of the door without paying for goods. (The travellater trollies are totally different)
You’d be surprised how much theft goes on in supermarkets, and I must admit it has dropped a fair amount since we’ve had these trollies.

I have learned that the above is correct. However, having signs that tell shoppers they have an anti theft device really isn’t enough to exclude them to deny liability for an injury sustained 🙁

I suspect that warning that a trolley may suddenly jam is fair warning, though.

It's horrible having an injury that restricts your movement etc - hopefully you are getting physio help (I had video appointments with our NHS hospital physio) and that slowly but surely you will improve. It took me about 9 months to recover from a muscle injury caused by slipping on IKEA packaging, but I am OK now.
