Abstract
Head-and-neck immobilization devices may include a yoke sized and shaped to contact a person's back and shoulders. Straps may extend from the yoke, the straps configured to secure the yoke to the person's torso. Two head immobilization pads may be sized and shaped to respectively contact opposing sides of the person's head, each of the two head immobilization pads connected to the yoke by a respective selectively rotatable, selectively rigid connection. A majority of the person's head may remain unobstructed by the head-and-neck immobilization device when the two head immobilization pads contact the two opposing sides of the person's head and are rigidly secured in place to immobilize the person's neck and head.
