As one would expect those with the greater BMI had
a greater PAC measure. Interestingly this current study
found that the greater the BMI of a participant the
greater was the reduction achieved in PAC in the
SPP (P3) compared with P1 and P2. Therefore
the PAC reduction achieved in the SPP may gain
greater clinical significance as the BMI of restrained
individual’s increases, which is of significance since
greater BMI has been linked with an increased risk of
harm occurring during and/or in close proximity to
restraint
