As the lower extremity is a linked‐joint system, the contribution of movements at the hip and ankle, in addition to the knee, to gait patterns should be considered for persons with knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, the relationships of joint coordination variability to OA symptoms, particularly knee pain, and joint loading is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of joint coordination variability to knee pain severity and joint loading in persons with knee OA. Thirty‐four participants with knee OA underwent gait analysis. Vector coding was used to assess coordination variability during the early, mid, and late stance phase. Hip–knee coupling angle variability (CAV) during midstance was associated with Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) pain (r = −0.50, p = 0.002) and Visual Analog Scale pain (r = 0.36, p = 0.04). Knee–ankle CAV during midstance was associated with KOOS pain (r = −0.34, p = 0.05). Hip–knee CAV during early and midstance were associated with knee flexion moment (KFM) impulses (r = −0.46, p = 0.01). Knee–ankle CAV during early and midstance were associated with peak KFM (r = −0.51, p < 0.01; r = −0.70, p < 0.01). Moreover, knee–ankle CAV during early, mid, and late stance phase were associated with KFM impulses (r = −0.53, p < 0.01; r = −0.70, p < 0.01; r = −0.54, p < 0.01). These findings suggest that joint coordination variability may be a factor that influences pain and knee joint loading in persons with knee OA. Statement of Clinical Significance: Movement coordination of the hip, knee, and ankle should be considered in the clinical management and future research related to knee OA.
