Mechanical CPR device with active backboard

A backboard for a mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device, comprising:

• a first elongated portion extending along a first axis from a first connector at a first end to a second end opposite the first end, the first connector being structured to couple to an upper portion of the mechanical CPR device;
• and
• a second elongated portion adjacent to the first elongated portion, the second elongated portion being slidable relative to a surface of the first elongated portion along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis, defining a direction of movement;
• wherein the first elongated portion includes a track, in which the second elongated portion is slidable within the track.
