Abstract: A removable foot support provides vertical stability for trauma victims carried on spine boards. The foot support is a unitary L-shaped structure having a vertical section, and a horizontal section at right angles to the vertical section. The vertical section is provided with two or more pins, which mate with sleeves inserted into the spine board. The mating sleeves and pins are provided with locking means comprised of detent means or cotter pins. In use the trauma victim is first placed on the board, and the foot rest is then attached. A tether chain or cable may be used to loosely affix the foot rest to the board.
