Selective restraints and reduced medication could reduce nursing home falls says 4-year study

However, the authors point out that in using restraints healthcare professionals should take into account the need to maintain the patients independence if possible and the fact that restraints can themselves cause injuries.

It is impossible to prevent every single fall and we cannot rule out the fact that freedom-restricting measures will continue to be used in the care of older people concludes Edit Fonad.

Our results suggests that freedom-restricting actions cannot eliminate falls totally, but they might be protective when used selectively with fewer sedatives, especially benzodiazepines.
