A photographer who lost use of their left hand due to a stroke cannot operate their Canon Rebel T6 camera because they need both hands to focus lenses and press the shutter simultaneously.

Existing shoulder rigs are designed for people with two hands who need weight support during long shoots, not for one-handed operation of camera controls like focusing and shutter release.
