Could a reanimated sentient hand be fully mobile with just the muscles and ligaments in and below the wrist or would it require more of the arm present? How much more?

The hand appears to have adequate blood supply and central nervous system, so these factors can be ignored for the sake of the question.

No, a large percentage of muscles acting on fingers and wrist are in forearm
