PHYSICAL RESTRAINT
Human or mechanical actions that restrict a
person’s freedom of movement
Manual restraint vs mechanical restraint
Indications:
Medical or psychiatric condition AND
Incapable of rsponding to reasonable requests from
health care staffs to co-operate AND
Putting themselves or others at risk AND
Less restrictive alternatives are not appropriate

Good practice of physical/mechanical restraint:
As a last resort
Proportional to the antecedent behaviour
Applied in a safe and appropriate manner
Not prolonged
Under supervision
Not used as a substitute for inadequate staffing or as
punishment
Documentation
If possible to release restraint every hour for
10minutes (1 limb at time if necessary)
