The aetiopathogenesis, symptoms and treatment of Sandhigata vata is described under Vatavyadhi which is found in a very concise form. Among joint disease, Osteoarthritis is often seen out of which the functional disability in the knee joint is incredibly common in elderly. The approaches in therapies mainly carried out are physiotherapy or pharmacological therapy, but these approaches are limited over time by their cost and/or side effects. It is characterized by pain, shiftiness with decreased range of motion in the knee joint which is very common complaint for many people.
