  • Title: Preventive aggression devices (PADS): ambulatory restraints as an alternative to seclusion.
    Author: Van Rybroek GJ, Kuhlman TL, Maier GJ, Kaye MS.
    Journal: J Clin Psychiatry; 1987 Oct; 48(10):401-5. PubMed ID: 3667538.
    Abstract:
    The authors introduce an ambulatory restraint procedure developed for a specialized inpatient unit with repetitively aggressive patients. Preventive Aggression Devices (PADS) reduce the length and frequency of seclusion and humanely foster a safer, more therapeutic environment for patients requiring a highly controlled environment. Indications and contraindications for PADS are listed, and criteria for their use are described.
