Document holder
The use of documents in your workplace generally imposes a higher load on the neck and shoulder muscles. This is mainly because documents are often placed too low or next to the keyboard. If you spend a lot of time at your desk, it is important to ensure a good ergonomic workstation. A document holder can provide the right solution for this. By using a document holder, a better posture of the upper body and head is achieved, reducing the strain on the neck, shoulders, and back.

Benefits of a document holder
Improved posture
One of the main benefits of a document holder is that it can help improve your posture. When you place documents on your desk, you often have to lean forward to read them. This can lead to tension in the neck, shoulders, and back. With a document holder, you can place the documents, such as A4 paper or books, at eye level, allowing you to sit upright and keep your neck and shoulders relaxed.
Reduced eye fatigue
If you spend a lot of time reading documents at your desk, it can cause eye fatigue and headaches. A document holder can help reduce these symptoms by ensuring that the documents are positioned at the proper distance and height, so your eyes don't have to strain to read the text.
More workspace
If you frequently work with multiple documents at the same time, it can be challenging to have enough desk space to accommodate them all. A document holder can help free up more workspace by keeping the documents off the desk and placing them on a separate stand.
Improved productivity
A document holder can also help improve your productivity. By placing documents on a separate stand, you can easily switch between different documents without having to constantly move them. This can save time and help you accomplish more work.
Reduced neck and back strain
In addition to the mentioned benefits, document holders are also beneficial for your body as they help improve the ergonomics of your workspace. Here are some ways ergonomic document holders can contribute to a healthy and safe work environment.
Reduced neck and shoulder strain
When you place documents on your desk, you often have to bend your neck and shoulders to read them. This can cause tension and fatigue in the neck and shoulder muscles. With a document holder, you can position the documents at eye level, allowing you to sit upright and keep your neck and shoulders relaxed. This reduces the strain on these muscles and can help prevent neck and shoulder pain.
Reduced back strain
Constantly leaning forward to read documents on your desk can also cause strain and fatigue in your back muscles. An ergonomic document holder can help prevent this by allowing you to sit upright and keep your back muscles relaxed.
Improved hand position
When you place documents on your desk, you often have to stretch your arms to read them. This can cause tension and fatigue in your hands and forearms. With a document holder, you can position the documents at the proper distance, allowing you to maintain a natural hand and forearm position while reading.
Reduced risk of eye problems
Spending a lot of time reading documents at your desk can lead to eye problems such as eye strain and headaches. Having a document holder on your desk can help prevent this by ensuring that the documents are positioned at the proper distance and height, so your eyes don't have to strain to read the text.
