Not to be confused with Vascular Claudication - Caused by impaired blood flow to the muscles
How can you distinguish between them?
see if theres difference in flexion as flexion is an easing factor for neurogenic claudication but not for vascular claudication
Pain from neurogenic claudication eases faster
Neurogenic claudication may be present with radicular (and generally bilateral) pain as it arises from the spine
May be history of trauma or OA to lumbar spine
May have past medical/drug history that indicates their vascular system is compromised
