    Eh, we don’t have a way to mimic proprioception, so you’d basically have to constantly concentrate on every aspect of what you’re doing and rely on visible ques. You’d basically be giving yourself peripheral neuropathy.

      It should be possible in theory, if expensive to do properly. Sensory pathways can be intercepted just like motor pathways can. So long as the damage or atrophy isn’t too extensive, it should be possible to recreate most aspects of a biological limb. In 100 years, it might not be an issue anymore.
