Question Good bike setup for a person with bilateral wrist pain when gripping handlebars?

Hello, I have pain in both wrists when actively using my hands. Like with typing or picking up objects, I would like to bicycle but constantly using a handbrake would fatigue my hands quickly. Any ideas for a bike or adaptive tools that will let me ride a regular or recumbent bike with as little hand usage as possible? Thank you for your help!

Recumbent and Hydraulic brakes take very little effort..

and coaster brakes even less..
