  • Title: Rapid assessment of the effects of restraint on self-injury and adaptive behavior.
    Author: Wallace MD, Iwata BA, Zhou L, Goff GA.
    Journal: J Appl Behav Anal; 1999; 32(4):525-8. PubMed ID: 10641306.
    Abstract:
    We evaluated the effects of restraint on occurrences of self-injurious behavior (SIB) and adaptive responses exhibited by 2 individuals across eight response-effort conditions: baseline (no restraints); restraint sleeves without stays; restraints with 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 thin metal stays; and restraints with five thick metal stays. From this analysis, we identified a restraint level for each participant that reduced SIB but did not inhibit adaptive responding.
