Handicap Paddling

-- Last Updated: Aug-03-10 8:04 AM EST --

My friend Mickey wants to learn to Kayak. She has had a stroke and has no control of her left hand, but does have some upper arm mobility and shoulder strength.

Does anyone know of any type of brace to strap her arm to the paddle that could help her?

Thanks
