I have a 2010 MacBook Pro the USB ports have stopped working. I have ethernet, Firewire 800 and Thunderbolt-2 ports that work. Is there an adaptor that allows connection of USB-a devices?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.3
There's this: Other World Computing – OWC Thunderbolt 2 Dock Solution
It is a bundle of an Apple Thunderbolt 3-to-2 adapter, and a powered Thunderbolt 3 dock. Among other things, the dock has five USB-A ports.
You might be able to use an Apple Thunderbolt 3-to-2 adapter to attach other docks. If so, they would need to be Thunderbolt docks, since the adapter doesn't know how to "speak" anything other than Thunderbolt. They would also need to have their own power supply, since the adapter does not transmit power from one side to the other.
What USB-A adapters are compatible with a 2010 MacBook Pro?
