About us…
Metitur Ltd. is a Finnish company that was established in 1996. The range of products manufactured by the company include equipment and computer programs for testing isometric muscle strength, assessing and training postural balance, and measuring psychomotor speed. To great extends Metitur’s work is based on scientific research carried out at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, since the early 1980s.
The products are used in hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers and research units. Typical subjects in need of assessment and training include neurological patients (e.g. stroke, Parkinson’s disease, cp), fracture patients, elderly subjects with balance problems, and employees or athletes with special balance requirements, etc.
One of the founding partners of Metitur is Dr. Pertti Era, PhD, who has been working as the managing director from the beginning on. He became interested in methods and systems for testing postural balance during his career as a researcher in that field at the University of Jyväskylä.
