Bending Over Backwards

When Claudio Vieira de Oliveira entered the world, doctors believed his life would be limited to just a day, as he was diagnosed with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita, a condition characterized by an upside-down position of his head. As a result of this condition, Claudio experiences muscular atrophy in his legs, and his arms remain firmly attached to his chest.

Despite these challenges, Claudio embraces life to the fullest and has become an inspiring motivational speaker. At the age of 44, he confidently asserts, "I have never faced any difficulties; my life is no different from normal."
