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.
