Yes, you can.

My take on the OP is that as the hand takes no active part at any stage, it should not be a target.
But...in order to avoid it being used to block other targets (do), I would suggest that the person ties his hand on the back, rather than having it in a sling on the front.

I'll try to bring up this question at the IKF seminar.

Really? I thought it stopped being valid once you threw and it was no longer holding the tsuka. Read that somewhere. In response to the OP, there was a match here where a one-handed player lost because his fake hand (in which he obviously has no feeling) touched the shinai of his opponent when it FELL OFF or something ridiculous like that. Was still considered a hansoku. Unless that arm is missing, I think it might need a kote on it. If you can still get hansoku from a fake hand, then the forearm should still be a valid datotsu.

Around 9 or 10 years ago, there was one gentleman in the pacific northwest that did one-handed jodan because he broke his arm or had some type of operation performed and his arm was in a cast. I was impressed that he still wanted to continue practicing even though he was injured. I would be scared about it getting hit and re-injure myself...

He would wrap his arm up with what appeared to be foam or some type of wrapping so that it would at least soften the blow if an errant strike hit his kote and forearm Not sure if that was meant to mean the area of his kote, or whether he wore an actual kote over his cast (which would take some refitting, one would think)...
