The apparatus is in the form of a spinal restraint comprising a rigid board, a plurality of restraining straps, a head support, a foot support, and carrying handles. The restraining straps extend laterally across the board from side portions thereof, the straps being longitudinally removable and laterally retractable. The head support is adapted for immobilizing the head of a patient and comprises a center support for supporting the back of the head of a patient and two side supports, one on each side of the central support, each one for supporting the side of the head of a patient and being movable between a support configuration and a loading and storing configuration in which the side support lies substantially flush with the center support. The foot support is adapted for supporting the feet of a patient and in a support configuration extends from the board, the support being movable to a storage configuration in which the support lies substantially flush with the board. The foot support is mounted on a carriage adapted for engaging a track extending longitudinally of the board, the carriage including a locking mechanism for locking the carriage, the foot support, at selected locations on the board. The handles are adapted for use in carrying the board and are located at the ends of the board, and are movable between a carrying configuration in which the handles extend beyond the ends of the board, and a storage configuration in which the handles are located substantially adjacent the ends of the board.
