Something like 12-15 years ago I was hit by a driver. One of the resulting injuries was a broken right hand and significant damage to the tendon attached to the base of the thumb - I could rotate the thumb through 360⁰ It was six months or perhaps more before I could pull own the right lever sufficiently to make it work.
To keep me on the road my LBS fitted inline levers which worked very well and allowed me back on the bike quickly.
The downside was once I returned to using the standard lever it took a year for me to "unlearn" the instinct to reach for the inline lever. Took a lot of concentration to break that instinct.
