Who? What? Why? How? When?

Least restraint means all possible alternative interventions are exhausted before deciding to use a restraint.

This requires assessment and analysis of what is causing the behaviour. All behaviour has meaning. When the reason for the behaviour is identified, interventions can be planned to resolve whatever difficulty the resident is having that contributes to the consideration of restraint use.

Things that Interfere with Good Positioning

Cushion Check- air amount, gel quality, wrong way, upside down, pommel

Medical- hip flexion restriction, back pain back kyphosis, scoliosis

Pads and transfer slings on top of cushion

Page 24: Restraints. What are Restraints? Restraints are physical, chemical or environmental measures used to control the physical or behavioural activity of a.

Improper Positioning

Falls to the side or forward Slides out of the wheelchair Redness on pressure areas Discomfort Unable to self propel with hands or
