ABSTRACT:
A harness and backboard are provided for immobilizing an injured patient. The harness includes a medial strap which is adjustable in length so that laterally extending straps which are connected to the medial strap may be placed at the desired longitudinal positions on the patient. The lowermost lateral straps are of a length to permit them to be wrapped around the ankles and feet of the patient in a manner to support the patient when the backboard is tilted toward the feet. The straps include hook and loop type fastening means that allow the harness to be readily adapted to immobilize small children or large adults.
