I'm not sure about technique differences, but I would keep a lookout for floggers with different types of handles that may be easier to grab. To be honest, with a bit of ingenuity, I'm sure you could make or adapt something to your needs. Keep in mind that a flogger isn't like a whip...it doesn't have to be wielded so exactly. I'm not sure how much mobility you have, but the back or the butt is a pretty big target, and you could potentially use a pillow or something similar to block off areas you definitely don't want to hit.

Some of the various flogger handles I've seen include the typical handle, a handle shaped like a "T", and a little ball handle that fits between your fingers. All of those could be attached to any type of leather or falls material you wish.

Additionally, I've seen a really nifty rope tie where essentially, you attach rope flogger falls to your hand...in effect making you hand the handle of the toy. Even with nearly no mobility or grip strength in your hand, I think this would be a fairly effective (and since rope is soft, safe-ish) toy.

I advise you to find a fetish store or event where you can get a chance to try out different handles and see how each works with your own particular abilities.

Along with the "T" shaped handles, there are some that are swivel with what amounts to no handle at all.  Instead, they attach directly onto your middle and ring fingers with a set of small leather loops.  The above poster is right.  The have almost non-existent handle weight and I love Mine to death.  Can you curl your fingers?  I'm not meaning a tight fist.  Just to the extent you could if you put on some very loose rings?

I put a hand towel over the area I don't want to hit.
 
I prefer thuddy floggers, and I prefer to whap, then drag it across the skin.  Sometimes I'm flogging with both hands.
 
When I hadn't done this for a while, and then went at it too long...I almost cried myself to sleep because my arms ached so bad, and they were stiff and very painful the next day.  If you have a basement couch or something to use your flogger on for maybe a week or two as exercize, that might be helpful.
 
When I make my floggers, I make some with wrist straps so I can hang them up.  Something like this could be used around your wrist so...if your hand goes momentarily wonky, you won't drop your flogger.
 
If I wanted to do this badly enough and my carpal tunnel was acting up a lot, I'd even wear a snug leather glove and make the sub duct tape the flogger to my glove.   I'd have to stick to single handed flogging instead of having both hands duct taped...lol.
 
Best wishes, and I hope you enjoy getting your groove on.

Again, huh?   LOL.

I could ask the gentleman who made Mine if he wouldn't mind telling you how to make them.  I may still have his email address somewhere.
