	Testing
	Bicycle-Rider Testing While at UCLA, Jeff Wheeler worked under the direction of Robert J. Gregor, Ph.D. in the Biomechanics Laboratory and contributed to the development of the UCLA force pedals that were specially instrumented and designed to collect applied shoe/pedal forces across various pedal interface designs. The UCLA force pedals have been utilized by Dr. Gregor, Mr. Wheeler, and several other researchers across the country to measure pedal forces and assess cycling knee injuries, elite rider pedal dynamics, and various abnormal lower extremity functions due to neurological pathologies.
