TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - Safety indices associated with the use of contingent restraint procedures JO - Applied research in mental retardation A1 - Spreat, S. A1 - Lipinski, D. A1 - Hill, J. A1 - Halpin, M. E. SP - 475 EP - 481 VL - 7 IS - 4 N2 - The safety of four general classes of contingent restraint was evaluated in a sample of 231 institutionalized mentally retarded persons. The use of mechanical restraints resulted in a significantly lower injury rate than did personal restraint. The use of restraint in emergency situations was found to be more dangerous than the planned use of such procedures.
