Abstract

Forceful restraint of psychiatric patients is lawful only in cases of violent uncontrolled behavior. The methods used to limit physical freedom are mainly mechanical means of confinement. The study presents a novel "Personal Protective System" designed to limit patients' violent actions but allow them free non- violent normal functioning.
