Adjustable cuffs made from soft fabrics that can be fixed to the wrists or ankles with the primary purpose of restricting movement.
While there are fewer risks from their use than from metal restraints, fabric restraints can be used to help facilitate torture or other ill-treatment, especially when they are used to restrain someone in a stress position. Some concerns arising from the use of other kinds of restraints also apply to the use of fabric restraints, including the risk of harm if they are used to restrain someone for longer than strictly necessary.
