You are right: The qualitative aspect of movement cannot be measured with MEA (see: Ramseyer, F. T. (2020). Motion Energy Analysis (MEA). A Primer on the Assessment of Motion From Video. Journal of Counseling Psychology, 67(4), 536-549. https://doi.org/10.1037/cou0000407)

For the triadic aspect, these papers may also help:
Dale, R., Bryant, G. A., Manson, J. H., & Gervais, M. M. (2020). Body Synchrony in Triadic Interaction. Royal Society open science, 7(9), 200095. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.200095
Fujiwara, K. (2016). Triadic Synchrony: Application of Multiple Wavelet Coherence to a Small Group Conversation. AM, 07(14), 1477-1483. https://doi.org/10.4236/am.2016.714126

The other aspects (speed, duration, max, etc.) are on the individual level and they can be derived from the time-series generated by MEA. (this was done in an older script in SAS, but I suggest to implement it in R according to your requirements).
