Evaluating a novel maximum desk height equation
Integrating biomechanical safety and anthropometric fit in educational furniture design
This study evaluates a new equation for defining maximum desk height in educational settings, comparing it with the traditional Chaffin and Anderson-based equation through biomechanical analysis. The new equation, based on 30° shoulder abduction and 35° flexion, was tested agains

Secular trends in facial anthropometry among Chilean workers
Implications for ergonomic respirator design and fit panel adaptation
The ergonomic fit of respiratory protective equipment (RPE) is critical for ensuring both protection and long-term usability in occupational settings. However, most respirators are designed based on outdated or foreign anthropometric data that may not represent local populations.

3D facial anthropometry of Chilean workers and migrants
Cross-country comparisons and insights for PPE design
This study aimed to collect and analyze three-dimensional (3D) anthropometric data of Chilean workers to support the design of personal protective equipment (PPE) tailored to their physical characteristics. A total of 2016 participants, including Chileans and migrant workers, wer
