About
Jacqueline Alderson is a leading figure in biomechanics and sports science, whose research focuses on the intersection of human movement, injury prevention, and wearable technology. Her work is centered on developing and validating innovative methods for capturing and analyzing complex motion, particularly in dynamic sporting contexts. A major contribution is her pioneering use of magneto-inertial measurement units (IMUs) to assess trunk motion, moving beyond traditional lab-based systems to enable real-world, sport-specific analysis. Her highly cited 2021 study, "Measurement of uni-planar and sport specific trunk motion using magneto-inertial measurement units," demonstrated the concurrent validity of Noraxon and Xsens IMU systems against gold-standard retro-reflective motion capture, with 23 citations underscoring its impact on the field. This work has profound implications for athlete monitoring, rehabilitation, and performance optimization, allowing for precise, portable, and ecologically valid assessments. Alderson’s research is instrumental in bridging the gap between controlled laboratory settings and the unpredictable demands of sport, making her a key contributor to the future of evidence-based sports biomechanics.
