There is always the possibility of setting up an electrode on the appropriate nerve, as guided by a physio, operating a virtual arm on eg, a phone screen, maybe controlled by Bluetooth. That definitely would not be hazardous, if it were possible. Now there’s an app for someone to develop some time. 🧐
