That it keeps the victim immobilized is the reason for the binding of Oedipus' feet in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, a rod is run through both ankles of the infant Oedipus. It makes it easy for the baby to be tossed to higher terrain for exposure to ravaging weather and wildlife on the mountains outside Thebes. It makes it impossible for the baby to crawl away. It makes it inevitable that his survival will be uncomfortable since the permanent side effects are a shuffling gait and permanently scarred, swollen ankles.
