Cory

Sixth-generation Nebraska farmer Cory had a choice – give up or adapt – when a nerve injury threatened his ability to keep farming.

For Cory, farming is more than a career. It’s a family legacy built over generations. When a fall left him struggling with everyday tasks like gripping tools, climbing into a tractor, or operating equipment, he began searching for a way to regain his independence. That journey led him to Limb Lab, where he was introduced to the Carbon Hand, an innovative upper-limb orthotic device designed to assist people with reduced hand strength.

The Carbon Hand is a lightweight, sensor-driven grip-assist glove that detects the user’s intended movement and automatically provides additional grip support when needed. For Cory, it re-opened the door to tasks that had become difficult after his injury. He was once again able to hold a screwdriver, operate power tools, grip a steering wheel, and take on the demanding work that comes with life on the farm.
