About K.E.E.N.
OKA launched the Kinesiology Evidence and Engagement Network (KEEN) in 2019 as a living laboratory, also known as a practice-based research network, to serve as a hub to support collaboration between front-line Kinesiologists and academic researchers. Working in collaboration, front-line Kinesiologists and researchers can uncover which treatments and interventions are working, which work better than others, and which new treatment strategies might further enhance the prevention, management or performance related goals of patients and clients seeking Kinesiology services.
Vision
KEEN continues to pursue its vision to be:
the go-to hub for practice-based evidence generation, translation and exchange in Kinesiology.
Mission
- To grow a network promoting collaboration and knowledge exchange between Registered Kinesiologists, Academic Researchers and students, insurance providers, government stakeholders, and other regulated health professionals providing preventative and primary care to Ontarians.
- To use the network as a mechanism to generate and share new knowledge and evidence to:
