What is indicated for a two-point restraint?

A two-point restraint is designed to secure less than the full range of motion by using two straps. Typically, this type of restraint is used to secure one arm and the opposite leg, allowing for limited mobility while still maintaining a level of safety for the patient. This kind of restraint is particularly beneficial in situations where a patient may need to remain partially mobile but still requires some degree of restriction to prevent injury or to facilitate care.

Using a two-point restraint in this manner can also help manage specific conditions or behaviors, where it is essential to maintain the balance of control without overly restricting the patient's movement. This approach aligns with therapeutic objectives in healthcare settings, which often emphasize the least restrictive method appropriate for the patient's safety and care.
