Reading stops being restful when the hands have to hold the book. This stand takes that job over: it holds a book or magazine open and upright on a table, or rests over the knees for someone reading in a chair or in bed.
It suits clients with arthritis, low endurance, tremor or a painful shoulder, and anyone who tires quickly when holding a weight at chest height. A clip holds the pages down so they stay put without being pinned by a thumb, and doubles as a bookmark when the reader stops.
The frame folds flat, so it stores behind a chair or in a bedside drawer between uses and travels easily to day programs or respite. Setting it up takes one movement and no tools.
