Ah, I’m glad you asked - I’m an expert* on this topic. While the mental faculties of zombies are long gone, the brain still plays a part in moving limbs. The neural pulses from the brain control the muscles, even if the consciousness died a long time ago. The brain sends instructuons to the limbs, even if what is causing the brain to send them is something entirely foreign (like the Knox Virus).
To put it simply, the cerebellum (a.k.a. the “Little Brain” is what is used to move the muscles. A human brain with only the cerebellum intact could in theory still move, provided something instructs the cerebellum.
As for sharp teeth: Any dullness can be compensated for through brute force.
