ABSTRACT:
A patient restraining device suitable for use in physiotherapy comprises a framework which in use is located at the foot of a bed. A roller is rotatably mounted on the framework, and a belt is secured to and wound around the roller. A harness is secured to the free end of the belt, and the harness is provided with cushioned straps. A length of belt is unwound from the roller to suit the particular patient, and the roller is locked in this position by a ratchet wheel and pawl spindle. The patient lies on the bed over the harness and belt so that the patients feet are adjacent the framework and the cushioned straps are wrapped around the patients legs to hold the patient. The patient restraining device allows a single physiotherapist to perform physiotherapy while the patient is prevented from moving away from the framework.
