i'm sure with some tinkering you can achive similar results,,

I think it works great, super secure and really easy to modulate.

Here is the whole gallery of picture i took and here are some examples so you can see how it works


rim brake Only


Hydrolic Only


the two of them at Unison..


this is how the tandem looks but i don't see why not you can connect one lever to the front brake and one for the rear


No matter what I hope the issue with your hand get better and also If i was to chose I take the Front brake anyday


get better soon.

I think this is the best (only? ) solution on this thread. Install a basic brake lever (flat bar type)on the drops facing back to the existing brake lever and distribute the braking within the four fingers of the best hand.

Being on the right hand-side, his left arm remains available for signaling so that'll work well. My preference would go with leaving the right hand rear brake as is and assign the new lever as the front brake.
