Comparing these data, we see that indeed, with the introduction of bed rest, the number of isolations has decreased, especially in the women's department, where it went down from 972 to 304 on average per year; however, by themselves 196 and 304, the number of isolations in the men's and women's departments during bed rest must be considered very large.
As is known, in Kolmov the physical work of the mentally ill was introduced almost from the first days of the administration of the Kolmov hospital by the Novgorod Zemstvo; they were introduced by the Administration not for a therapeutic purpose, but in the calculation of the material benefit from the work of the mentally ill.
