Arthrogryposis affects 1 out of every 3000 live births; Prune Belly Syndrome affects about 1 in 30,000 births. I am one of many afflicted with these conditions; therefore I want to make a difference in our society. When I was little, I had a very hard time walking until I learned how to walk cross-legged (Scissor-Gait). Both of my hips are dislocated, which is one of the main reasons why this works out well for me. Because of Scissor-Gait, I do not need a walker or any other devices for walking short distances.
