suitable for a patient without much use of hands?

While you don't have to hold the book, you do need to turn the pages, and depending on the type of binding, some books will not open flat, so every time you turn the page, you need to move the bottom lever to tuck the page under it.

Depends on the surface in which it will be placed. The stand has a good weight to it and likely won't slide around. The metal tabs for holding pages are easily moved as well, but I don't know what your range of motion is. However, if you typed this question then I imagine you'll be just fine.

Yes, it is a good product. Keep in mind you will have to turn the pages yourself & move the page holders but they aren't sticky or anything.
1833538
Yes, as long as the book or paper can be sufficiently propped open. Someone might have to set page holders, if they are needed. It may also be best on a table or hard surface.

As long as you can get the book onto the stand and turn the pages, this book stand works great.

The short answer is no. The major flaw in this product is the deck. Its not deep enough...there's not enough of it. It's not good for thicker books because the pages sag below the deck. But it's better than not having any bookstand! Also, there's a matter of the metal page holders which sometimes require both hands to navigate. Hope this helps!

If you have very tiny hands, then yes. You would be able to get your hand inside. Mine - no way. I use a long wooden spoon to move a scrub pad around inside. Then rinse. Then rinse again with either alcohol or bleach - whatever is on hand. It stays surprisingly clean. Best to you.

Relatively light... I have one arm with virtually no muscle strength and able to use easily

I find it very easy and it does provide enlarged text sizes. The in-and-out pinch movements with the fingers are essential so some minimal manual dexterity is essential. Other than that, go for it!

I have problems with my hands, and can use this easily. The smooth action is so nice. Sorry you are having trouble with yours but I am sure they will replace it. There are always a bad apple in a basket and I guess you found it

An office chair should work. Also note that I will be selling ours, as the patient no longer needs it. We only used it a couple times.

If you do not have large hands, it is fine. Regular hands are tight, but work. The touch is adequate. Large hands may not be worth it, though.

Not really. Sorry. You can use a stool, which helps but I wouldn't call it easy.

Hi Stewart, sorry to be so long getting back to you....don't have computer at home at present so just getting your message.Being right-handed I can't give a really fair answer, BUT off-hand, no pun intended, I'd think you could manage it OK It may depend on how much stiff you do with your left hand, also. Even though I'm right-handed, I was changed as a kid having a good Catholic grandmother, so some things I can still do with my left hand. I'm going to check it out when I go home and get back to you with a more definitive answer on Wed., for certain.

I agree w/other responders here --- if I can hold/use w/o difficulty, it's not too heavy. ---

Very easy. I am 63 years old, male, and have no problems. I have smaller hands as well.

I think it would be fine for him to use it alone if he doesn't have dementia or some reason not to understand about the way to turn around or reverse. If his arms are fairly strong, should be no problem. It is very easy to push, too. If there would be an incline, maybe you could help a little if needed.

I can just manage to fit my hands in this space to use a neutral grip. I like to think I have average sized hands for a grown man. As long as you don't have meaty bear paws for hands, you should be all right.

I would say light but not flimsy...easy on the arthritic hand also..easy to grip when food is in them

Maybe very minimally. It would be better if you had someone massage it in ;)

I have MS and my right hand is 'just for show' now. We have had one for years (wore it out, found this question when I was buying the replacement). As long as he can steady/hold the bottle with something, he can use it.

maybe less. it is not really a heavy equipment. very light. it is designed for dentist to hold by 2-3 fingers. plus package, probably weight about 1-2 lb.
