immobilizers
Devices stopping motion
Immobilizers are devices that prevent movement or operation.
In automotive contexts, an immobilizer is an electronic security system that prevents the engine from starting without the correct key or fob: The car won't start—the immobilizer isn't recognizing the key.
Medical immobilizers are braces or splints that restrict movement of injured body parts during healing.
