OBS

Although the terms "hog-tie" and "hobble" are often used interchangeably it is important to differentiate between the two. The maximal prone restraint method (hog-tie), involves securing both wrists and ankles together behind the back, while the "hobble" is the tactic of securing the ankles together (without connecting them to the wrists), to inhibit the subject from placing the soles of their feet in contact with the ground.

OBS

The hobble restraint can be used to secure the ankles, knees or elbows together.
