Actually, recumbent brings the image of a bicycle to my mind (the
sort of bike where one's legs are extended in front of you, and the
steering is controlled by a bar just under one's sit-upon).
An interesting impairment memoir with disability notes is
The Horizontal Woman : The Story of a Body in Exile
by Suzanne E. Berger
August 1996
Houghton Mifflin Co
ISBN: 0395726689
I don't have a copy to hand, but she does address the "woman in bed"
trope some.
