Hello @marthaq, welcome to the online community! It's lovely to have you here.
I see that you are looking for exercises for your osteoarthritis of the knees, to help with bearing weight with less pain. Careful exercise can be really beneficial for people with arthritis as it naturally lubricates the joints and strengthens the muscles to take pressure off. Swimming and cycling can be really good for knees because of this. There are also some specific exercises and stretches you can do at home, I hope you'll find these resources helpful:
Please do let us know how you get on. Best wishes, Sarah (moderator)

Not sure what you mean by bone weight loading? My physio gave me an exercise where I am sitting lifting each leg straight in turn with something a bit heavy at the end of the leg.
