Corrective Action

I have to bend or rotate my neck to see my documents on my desk.

To read and write we need to get our eyes perpendicular to the document.

So, to read and write on a document placed flat on your desk you will bend your neck forward with potential for a sore neck and headaches.

Incline

Think about the old style school desk - it was inclined!  You can use this same concept at your desk by using document holders. Rather than tip down your head and neck you tip up the the "desk!"

Position the holder to the side of the monitor or if possible directly between the keyboard and monitor.

Document holders are available in either landscape or portrait format.

 

Order document holder - go to Products - Document Holders.
