The Strappado

The strappado is a form of torture wherein the victim has his or her arms tied behind their back; a large rope is then tied to the wrists and passed over a pulley, beam, or a hook on the roof. The torturer pulls on this rope until the victim is hanging from the arms. Since the hands are tied behind the victim's back, this will cause a very intense pain and possible dislocation of the arms. The full weight of the subject's body is then supported by the extended and internally rotated shoulder sockets. While the technique shows no external injuries, it can cause long-term nerve, ligament, or tendon damage. The technique typically causes brachial plexus injury, leading to paralysis or loss of sensation in the arms. Weights may be added to the body to intensify the effect and increase the pain. This kind of torture would generally not last more than an hour, without rest, as it would likely result in death. Other names for strappado include; reverse hanging, Palestinian hanging and il tormento della corda. Historically, it was used by the medieval Inquisition and many governments.

Título:
The Strappado
Descripción:
Traducción automática: El strappado es una forma de tortura en la que la víctima tiene los brazos atados a la espalda; Luego se ata una cuerda grande a las muñecas y se pasa sobre una polea, una viga o un gancho en el techo. El torturador tira de esta cuerda hasta que la víctima queda colgando de los brazos. Dado que las manos están atadas a la espalda de la víctima, esto provocará un dolor muy intenso y posible dislocación de los brazos. Luego, todo el peso del cuerpo del sujeto es soportado por las cuencas de los hombros extendidas y rotadas internamente. Si bien la técnica no muestra lesiones externas, puede causar daños a largo plazo a nervios, ligamentos o tendones. La técnica suele provocar una lesión del plexo braquial, lo que provoca parálisis o pérdida de sensibilidad en los brazos. Se pueden agregar pesas al cuerpo para intensificar el efecto y aumentar el dolor. Este tipo de tortura generalmente no duraba más de una hora, sin descanso, ya que probablemente provocaría la muerte. Otros nombres para strappado incluyen; Ahorcamiento inverso, Ahorcamiento palestino e Il tormento della corda. Históricamente, fue utilizado por la Inquisición medieval y muchos gobiernos.
