Major Constraints:

→ made from cardboard 

→ must be mobile - you’ve got to be able to take it with you

→you’ve got to be able to sit on it without it collapsing or tipping over

The seat is 30-50cm from the ground

I will continue to draw more objects and then i will transfer it to Adobe Illustrator.

So that will need to be fixed.

• Problem without the tool: Holding a book open for a long time

• Solution with the tool: The page holder supports the pages mechanically, minimizing muscular effort and allowing for relaxed finger and hand positions.

2. Supports Neutral Joint Angles

• Holding a book often can causes non-neutral wrist positions (bending or twisting), increasing pressure on tendons and nerves.

• Arthritis causes joint inflammation, especially in the fingers and knuckles, making gripping painful.

• This ergonomic design eliminates the need for a tight grip by holding the pages with minimal finger movement.

• The customized fit (e.g., the finger hole sizes, the smooth edges) helps avoid pressure points that could aggravate joint pain.

2. People with Hand Tremors: (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322195)

• Holding a book steady is a challenge for those with tremors caused by Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, or neurological conditions.

• This device stabilizes the pages, so users don’t need to use both hands or readjust constantly.

• Helps maintain a clear reading view without accidental page flipping.

3. People with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/carpal-tunnel-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20355603#:~:text=People%20with%20carpal%20tunnel%20syndrome,controlled%20by%20the%20median%20nerve.)

• Carpal tunnel causes numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hands, especially during repetitive gripping or bending.

• This page holder removes the need for prolonged wrist flexion or finger strain by allowing passive support through one central motion.

• Encourages a neutral wrist posture, which is more sustainable and comfortable.

• This tool eliminates the need for pinch grips and replaces them with a passive resting mechanism.

4. Improves Task Efficiency and Comfort

• Readers can use one hand or just a thumb, without the need to use both hands as well as reduce cognitive and physical effort.

• The smoother shape, the refined fit (adjusted hole size), and the rounded edges improve tactile comfort and avoid pressure points that would otherwise cause soreness over time.
