dc.description.abstractThis study aims to identify the anthropometric and morphometric characteristics and reveal the postural disorder of the malecase called S.K who was diagnosed with Gigantism (pituitary gigantism) caused by hypersecretion of pituitary tumor-relatedgrowth hormone and entitled as the tallest person alive in the world with a height of 2.51 cm in the Guinness World Records in2009. Height, weight, body mass index, upper extremity lengths, lower extremity lengths, skinfold thickness, upper and lowerextremity diameters, upper and lower extremity perimeters, chest depth and hand grip strength were measured foranthropometric measurement. 8 different body segments were calculated and analyzed using The Posture Screen Mobile®application for posture evaluation. Disorders in these segments were identified based on forwarding tilt of head(Anterior/Lateral -AL), position of head (A-L), tilt and position of shoulder (A-L), position of ribcage (left-right), position ofpelvis (left-right), pelvic tilt (left-right) and load on the head (lb. and kg) (Figure 1.). The measurements revealed that the casesurprisingly had anthropometric and morphometric values above normal human dimensions and that, there was also no otherliving human being with numerically the same values. (Table 2-8). As a result, since the fact investigated has an extreme lengthdue to gigantism, he has taken his place in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's longest living person with a longlength.
