What term describes the act of strangulation using an elbow during an assault?

Throttling refers specifically to the act of strangulation that is typically characterized by the use of one's own arms or limbs, commonly utilizing the elbow to constrict the neck of the victim. This technique allows the assailant to apply significant pressure in a very focused manner, often leading to unconsciousness or death due to restricted blood flow and oxygen supply.

Bansdola is not a widely recognized term in forensic medicine relating to strangulation methods. Garroting involves strangulation primarily by a cord or ligature and is distinct from throttling, which uses the assailant's own body parts. Asphyxia is the condition resulting from a lack of oxygen, which can occur due to various forms of strangulation but does not specify the method of strangulation itself. Thus, throttling is the most accurate descriptor for the use of an elbow in such a violent act.
