I don't think he is able to use the trigger if he holds it upside
down. I could be wrong, so it could be worth checking out.

What was the problem with upside-down? that seems like a easy
solution
is it going to be primary handheld or can you see him using a flexible
arm attached to his wheelchair with the camera mounted on it?
unfortunately, all the solutions I have in mind are probably too
costly. I am thinking along the lines of a small ballhead with a

If he has limited dexterity, would a flexible mount that he can clamp

Air pressure shutter releases were fairly common way back when, and they're
still available: http://www.amazon.com/Kaiser-206144-Air-Release/dp/B0015KBCJ2
I believe that any camera with a screw socket for a mechanical shutter release
cable can be used with this type of device.

Why complicate it? The air release can easily be connected directly to the
camera. Trying to get it toe activate the remote would require some jerry
rigging, and it adds failure potential.
