Mínimum criteria in deprivation of liberty Map showing the various restraints needed by each inmate at the Senior Citizen Residence Laraxe (Corunna) 342. An unnecessary or excessive use of physical and pharmacological restraints may violate the rights to human dignity and free development of personality (article 10 CE), to freedom (article 17 CE), to physical and moral safety, and not to suffer inhuman or degrading treatment (article 15 CE). In both types of restraint, negative effects of their continued use have been recorded. In the opinion of this institution, centres should tend to reduce the use of restraints, considering the existence of experiences that evidence the possibility of achieving the contention through alternative measures. Likewise, priority should be given to the use of restraints that limit only to the extent necessary the mobility of the patient. Accordingly, the restraints used should be reviewed regularly, to reduce them to the extent possible.
