VR for Disabled People

I got a quest 2 last week and my girlfriend really wants to try beat saber (turns out she's been playing a rip off version on her phone) the problem is she has to stand with a crutch so can't have both hands free and stand at the same time.
Is there any accessibility options or other ways that would allow her to play?
Just thinking there must be some options out there for people who can't have both hands free.
If it wasn't for the crouching I think she could have got away with sitting on the sofa.

Brilliant thanks for the advice. She's got a stool she's uses for cooking in the kitchen, will drag that in and try it.

Swivel stools are great for seated Quest wireless VR. You can easily turn around, and with no wires you can't get tangled, plus your arms are free. It's actually a great way to make use of limited VR space too, as it effectively keeps you in one spot.

That's a great idea! I'll look for a swivel stool. It might be handy for me too as I keep pinching the wall playing super hot when I get over excited

Just going to be a matter of time until something gets broke I think, already having to lock the cat out so I don't step on the poor thing.
But thank you for the advice, she had a go on a stool today and promptly beat my hi-score!!!
