Is it possible to animate the top half of a skeleton independently of the bottom half?

I think this has specific vocabulary that would really help me, but for the life of me, I don’t know what it is, so I will explain. I have the AnimStarterPack which has some fantastic animations that I would like to use. It has a ton of animations for walking, jogging, sprinting, and crouching in all directions, however, it only has all of those for the Rifle pose. It does have some for a shotgun pose and a handgun pose, but really only in one direction or speed.

This leads me to believe that there should be a way to change the animation pose for the top half of the skeleton or the arms without having to create a whole new blend space or animation sequence for the bottom half. If anyone has any links to tutorials, or just know the terminology for what I described, I would greatly appreciate it!
