The incredible man with legs like scissors - born different

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
THIS MAN was born with two rare medical conditions that have made his legs look like a pair of SCISSORS. 33-year-old, Marty Sheedy lives with Arthrogryposis - the joint contracture in two or more areas of the body - and Prune Belly Syndrome - the lack of abdominal muscles. Marty weighs only 60lbs and stands at 4ft 10-, but his lack of weight and height are not the strangest symptoms of his condition. In order to be able to move around, Marty has to use his legs in a scissor-like fashion - something most people have never seen before. Doctors gave Marty just two years to live, but he has since defied all the odds and now loves people referring to him as -the scissor man- and -scissor legs

I realize that this is all he has ever known, so his hips being dislocated probably doesn't hurt or feel wrong, but as someone who has had at least a dozen dislocations of different joints, I can't imagine how painful and wrong it would feel for me (or an ordinary person) to try to walk on one dislocated hip, let alone two. I'm surprised doctors didn't surgically correct his hips as an infant.

His parents are truly amazing. Their attitude towards his condition is just so positive. Theyre saing he is amazing and are so proud of him and kind. Im sure their attitude has helped him become so independent and having the attitude that his life isnt hard. Many people who are able bodied should learn from him and his parents.

Marty is the man! He just seems so happy with life, it is such a lovely thing to see. -Truly you really need to do update videos on all of these people. I've seen a couple you've done updates on, but I would love to see updates on all these people.

You know sometimes I wonder in deformations like these, would it be possible to put something in between his legs as a child before the bones take place and become tough and will it prevent or decrease such unusual growth.
reply

I had to cry when I saw that. He is so strong and full of life. I wish I had a positive attitude like him. It's so hard to deal with on a daily basis.
(I am also physically disabled and seriously ill)

What a lovely charming young man. His smile and presence light up the room. He is an amazingly cool guy. No wonder his wonderful parents are so proud. I love him.

I'm kind of surprised that doctors couldn't fix it to some extent when he was very young, like under 3 (whenenver bones are still soft. But he's adapted to it all.
reply

even in the hardest of times, we learn to adapt, it is in human nature to learn and achieve where sometmes it does not look possible
reply

He seems like such a cool, grounded guy. Too wise for his age. And his voice is so soothing, like a vintage record.
reply

When I first glanced, I couldn-t see what was scissory about them until he walked. I-m glad he-s ok with it though
reply

I wouldn-t exactly say the crossed legs give him -amazing balance- or -amazing mobility- like he says.
reply

We all can learn from him no matter our difficulties we can still have a positive attitude about it -.
