Specialists in the field of
human performance measurement
Thirty years spent measuring elite athletes and human beings in extreme environments has resulted in a unique understanding of human physical performance and the measurement thereof.
The company was founded in 1983 by Dr. Malcolm Ellis after receiving the first prize award of the 21st competition for innovation run by the “New Scientist” magazine.
The company develops advanced measurement equipment covering Human Telemetry, EMG, Myometry, Gait, Goniometry, ECG and Heart Rate Variability. MIE has supplied many of the world's leading researchers in the world's best universities, research centres and hospitals.
As a result, the company have won no fewer than five SMART awards for innovation in 1986, 1987, 1990, 2010 and 2013.

Performance & recovery
Not only has the company developed a unique knowledge of measuring human performance, but MIE's work with elite athletes has led to products for restoring performance when individuals suffer soft tissue injuries. MIE's unique electrotherapy products are used by both sports clubs and by leading vets treating competition horses. Since its formation, the company has continued to bring exciting new innovations to the field including a large number of world firsts.
- This record of innovation has resulted in a number of unique patents for:
- Clinical Goniometer.
- Digital Pinch/Grip Analyser.
- Novel Bone Staple.
- Plane Right.
- A multi slave Bluetooth system for parallel data collection.
