Flying with artificial limbs
It is true that Willy Van's post is over a decade old, but the reply to it
isn't a day old yet.
I believe there are Aircoup/Eircoup(?) types that have interconnected roll/yaw
controls, and trailing link gear meant to contact the runway during landings in
a crab.

I have a friend interested in obtaining his private pilots licence in
Canada. He has one artificial leg and is concerned about his ability to
operate the rudder pedals particularily for braking. On the advice of
the local club he contacted a local physician who advised him that he
could fly with "Modifications".
Before shelling out $80.00 (can). for a medical, he was wondering if
anyone else is famaliar with his situation and could offer any advice.
Please e-mail your response as well as posting.
As this post is 17 years old I would imagine the issue is long resolved.
