"There was no emergency control over the rudder"

I am fairly sure that the rudder can be moved manually due to the mechanical linkage of the servo valve operating rods. A small degree of lost movement will occur prior to the rods reaching E.O.T. and reacting against the PCU

Elevators can definitely be manually operated and have geared tabs and mare mass balanced to assist.
