Thumb shifters can actually be pretty good for hands that don't work great, provided they are comfortable moving a hand while riding. You can put your palm on top of the whole thumb lever and push/pull it pretty easy.

Not really many options for good grip shifters these days. You can get the SRAM MRX units, Shimano Tourney, and some Microshift thing. None are fantastic, the slightly older SRAM MRX shifters are pretty decent, much more positive clicks.

There are also these odd Shimano mountain STI things where the whole brake lever moves like a road STI/brifter, but obviously for flat bars. They come with a huge thumb paddle, but you can remove that and just use the brake lever. I believe they only existed in the time of 9spd though, no other options.
