Weight distribution pattern is a vital biomechanical parameter to evaluate knee joint changes and its functional correlates in knee osteoarthritis. VM - Weight Distribution Analysis System is a uniquely designed foot plate consisting of transducers (load cells), the interface and, digital display unit to measure static load distribution as well as variation in load distribution in different functional positions to quantify the variability in weight distribution and identify the biomechanical factors / attributes responsible for altered weight distribution. Understanding of this altered distribution is of utmost importance in the treatment of arthritic knee leading to compromised lifestyle and pain. The treatment process in knee osteoarthritis includes selection and prescription of: appropriate knee orthosis, shoe modification and exercise regime to maximize the efficiency of a person within the environmental context. The knowledge of this altered weight distribution in knee osteoarthritis over different areas of feet guides the process of designing, selection and prescription of orthosis as well as treatment implementation. This VM - Weight Distribution Analysis System provides the knowledge of altered load distribution over different regions of feet simultaneously and guide the clinical decision making process.Keywords

Case Report
Objective
To report a patient with bilateral Osteoarthritis of knee having severe pain during weight bearing activites and functional limitations / impairment in the course of functional recovery following intervention based on Multi-joint Coupling Strategies using principles of Neurophysiology
Result
Intervention was given for 8 weeks and patient showed significant improvement in pain, Functional ability status, proprioceptive acuity and gait characteristics.
Conclusion
Multijoint coupling strategy may serve as an important therapeutic tool for managing pain, and functional status in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
