what term describes leg pain from lumbar canal narrowing?
vascular claudication
neurogenic claudication
radicular pain
myopathic pain
view hint for question 17
Vascular claudication is pain from reduced blood flow, not spinal canal narrowing. Radicular pain comes from nerve root irritation, not canal narrowing itself. Myopathic pain originates in muscle tissue. Neurogenic claudication specifically refers to leg pain caused by lumbar spinal canal narrowing, which compresses the spinal nerves and causes pain, often worsened by walking.
